The field's leading textbook for more than three decades, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics offers a comprehensive introduction to essential principles and applications in the context of engineering. Now in its Tenth Edition, this book retains its characteristic rigor and systematic approach to thermodynamics with enhanced pedagogical features that aid in student comprehension. Detailed appendices provide instant reference; chapter summaries review terminology, equations, and key concepts; and updated data and graphics increase student engagement while enhancing understanding. Covering classical thermodynamics with a focus on practical applications, this book provides a basic foundational skillset applicable across a variety of engineering fields. Worked examples demonstrate the appropriate use of new formulas, while clarifying the proper approach to generalized problems of a relevant nature. Going beyond the usual guidance in the basics of the field, this book is designed as comprehensive preparation for more advanced study in students' engineering field of choice.

A focused look at the principles and applications of thermodynamics Offering a concise, highly focused approach, Sonntag and Borgnakke′s Introduction to Engineering Thermodynamics, 2nd Edition is ideally suited for a one–semester course or the first course in a thermal–fluid sciences sequence. Based on their highly successful text, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Introduction to Engineering Thermodynamics, 2nd Edition covers both fundamental principles and practical applications in a more student–friendly format. The authors guide students, from readily measured thermodynamic properties through basic concepts like internal energy, entropy, and the first and second laws, up through brief coverage of psychrometrics, power cycles, and an introduction to combustion and heat transfer. Highlights of the Second Edition ∗ New chapter on Chemical Reactions. ∗ Revised coverage of heat transfer, with a stronger emphasis on applications. ∗ New Concept Checkpoints, which allow students to test themselves on how well they understand concepts just presented. ∗ How–to sections at the end of most chapters, which answer commonly asked questions. ∗ Revised examples, illustrations, and homework problems, as well as a large number of new problems. ∗ ThermoNet online tutorials, with accompanying graphics, animations, and video clips. Available online with the registration code in this text. ∗ Computer–Aided Thermodynamic Tables 2 Software (CATT2) by Claus Borgnakke, provides automated table lookup and interpolation of property data for a wide variety of substances.
