Introduction to engineering thermodynamics / Richard E. Sonntag, Claus Borgnakke

By: Sonntag, Richard Edwin.
Contributor(s): Borgnakke, C. (Claus) [(j.a.)].
Publisher: N.Y. : John Wiley, c2001Description: xvii, 489 p. ; 26 cm.ISBN: 0471321729.Subject(s): ThermodynamicsDDC classification: 621.4021
Contents:
List of Symbols. - 1. Some Introductory Comments. - 2. Some Concepts and Definitions. - 3. Properties of a Pure Substance. - 4. Work and Heat. - 5. The First Law of Thermodynamics. - 6. First-Law Analysis for a Control Volume. - 7. The Second Law of Thermodynamics. - 8. Entropy. - 9. Second-Law Analysis for a Control Volume. - 10 Gas Mixtures. - 11. Power and Refrigeration Systems. - 12. Introduction to Heat Transfer. - Appendix A. SI Units: Single-State Properties. - Appendix B. SI Units: Thermodynamic Tables. - Appendix. C. Ideal Gas Specific Heat. - Appendix D. Equations of State. - Appendix E. Figures. - Appendix F. English Unit Supplement. - Some Selected References. - Answers to Selected Problems. - Index.
Summary: This book is written as a text for two different courses: a one-semester introductory course in engineering thermodynamics for both majors and non-majors; and also, the first course in an introductory sequence in engineering thermal-fluid sciences. The book therefore does not include those topics commonly covered in a second themodynamics course taken by mechanical engineering majors: combustion; chemical and phase equilibrium; thermodynamic relations/equations of state; or compressible flow. This book has been written to cover a broad range of background, interests and applications as well as to provide a great deal of flexibility in terms of topics covered and units. - Preface.
