Thermodynamics An Engineering Approach 5th Edition

 This book is intended for use as a textbook by undergraduateengineeringstudents in their sophomore or junior year,and as a reference book for prac-ticing engineers. The objectives of this text are•To cover the basic principles of thermodynamics.

•To present a wealth of real-world engineering examples to givestudents a feel for how thermodynamics is applied in engineeringpractice.

•To develop an intuitive understanding of thermodynamics by empha-sizing the physics and physical arguments.It is our hope that this book,through its careful explanations of conceptsand its use of numerous practical examples and figures,helps studentsdevelop the necessary skills to bridge the gap between knowledge and theconfidence to properly apply knowledge
