Beschreibung
Thermodynamics governs every energy conversion in the engineered world - from the turbine blades of a power station to the compressor in a building's cooling system. This book gives engineering students the tools to analyse any of these systems with precision, physical understanding, and complete confidence in their results. Built entirely on SI units, the text establishes the governing laws - mass conservation, the First Law, the Second Law, and the exergy balance - through rigorous derivations from physical principles. Every equation is motivated before it appears. Every assumption is stated before the equation it governs. Every worked solution tracks units through every line and closes with a physical interpretation of the result. Eighteen chapters move from foundational principles through vapour power cycles, gas turbines, refrigeration, compressible flow, combustion, and chemical and phase equilibrium. Worked examples, practice problems, and property tables are integrated within each chapter - available at the exact point of learning, not separated into a supplement the reader must cross-reference separately. Three tiers of problems - conceptual, skill-building, and open-ended design - appear at the end of every chapter, taking the reader from first understanding to the kind of judgement engineering practice actually demands. If you are studying for a thermodynamics course, preparing for a qualifying exam, or building the technical foundation you will carry into professional practice - this is the book to have on your desk.
