Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Designed for junior-level engineering students, this text offers detailed coverage of classical thermodynamics and features extensive use of second law analyses, including availability and irreversibility. Special example problems address matters of analysis, form, and units. Also includes problems that can be solved using computers and uses both English and SI units throughout.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
