<br/><br/>Introduction to thermodynamics and energy -- The nature of energy -- Thermodynamic properties and equations state -- First law of thermodynamics -- Introduction to the second law of thermodynamics -- Entropy -- Power cycles -- Refrigeration cycles -- Ideal gas mixtures -- Psychrometrics : the study of "atmospheric air" -- Combustion analysis. 
<br/><br/> "Written in an informal, first-person writing style that makes abstract concepts easier to understand, PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS provides strong coverage of fundamental concepts and applications. To help readers develop a better understanding of how to apply thermodynamics in their careers and a stronger intuitive feel for how the different components of thermodynamics are interrelated, the book asks readers to explore how changes in a particular parameter can change a device's or process' performance. Readers are encouraged to develop computer-based models of devices, processes, and cycles and to take advantage of the speed of Internet-based programs and computer apps to find thermodynamic data, just as practicing engineers do."--Amazon.com
