Thermodynamics: Concepts and Applications, Second Edition [2nd Ed] (Instructor Res. last of 3, Supplementary Exercises)

Presents an updated, full-color, second edition on thermodynamics, providing a structured approach to this subject and a wealth of new problems. Descripción del editor: "This concise text provides an essential treatment of thermodynamics and a discussion of the basic principles built on an intuitive description of the microscopic behavior of matter. Aimed at a range of courses in mechanical and aerospace engineering, the presentation explains the foundations valid at the macroscopic level in relation to what happens at the microscopic level, relying on intuitive and visual explanations which are presented with engaging cases. With ad hoc, real-word examples related also to current and future renewable energy conversion technologies and two well-known programs used for thermodynamic calculations, FluidProp and StanJan, this text provides students with a rich and engaging learning experience. Develops the subject starting from an essential treatment, building on fundamental principles presented with an intuitive description of the microscopic behaviour of matter Provides fewer but more carefully conceived examples which enable students to fully understand the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and to successfully apply them to all kinds of energy engineering problems Provides ad hoc, real-world examples related to current and future renewable energy conversion technologies to engage students in the global effort to solve the energy issue Accompanied by the academic version of FluidProp (fluid thermodynamic properties) and StanJan (chemical equilibria) - two well-known programs largely developed by the authors, enabling students to solve some of the more complex exercises and to obtain colorful visual information, such as many of the charts in the book" (Cambridge University Press) This fully revised second edition now matches the traditional sequence of course materials and provides a structured approach to teaching thermodynamics using everyday experiences and industrial applications. It is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, and energy engineering. "Thermodynamics is one of three disciplines known collectively as the thermal-fluid sciences, sometimes just the thermal sciences: thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. We begin with a dictionary definition of thermodynamics."-- Provided by publisher
