Introduction to
Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
provides balanced coverage of the basic concepts of
thermodynamics and heat transfer.
Together with the clear an
numerous illustrations, student-friendly writing style,
and manageable math, this is an ideal text for an
introductory thermal science course for non-mechanical
engineering majors.
Continuing in the tradition
of Cengel/Boles: Thermodynamics, this lavishly
illustrated text presents the key topics in thermodynamics
and heat transfer, in a highly accessible student-friendly
fashion.
The flexibly organized text
can accommodate courses that spend anywhere from 1/3rd to
2/3rds or more of class time on thermodynamics and the
rest on key heat transfer topics.
The intuitive approach is
supported by a wealth of physical explanations and
analogies that draw parallels between the subject and the
students' everyday experiences.
Many of the 150 thoroughly
worked out examples and almost 2,000 real-world problems,
highlight applications from civil and electrical
engineering.
Over 1,000 illustrations
help students visualize concepts
This approach and contents
make this text an ideal resource for introduction to
thermodynamics and/or thermal science courses intended for
non-mechanical engineering majors. |
