Download or read book Essential Engineering Thermodynamics written by Yumin Zhang and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Thermodynamics is a core course for students majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Before taking this course, students usually have learned Engineering Mechanics—Statics and Dynamics, and they are used to solving problems with calculus and differential equations. Unfortunately, these approaches do not apply for Thermodynamics. Instead, they have to rely on many data tables and graphs to solve problems. In addition, many concepts are hard to understand, such as entropy. Therefore, most students feel very frustrated while taking this course. The key concept in Engineering Thermodynamics is state-properties: If one knows two properties, the state can be determined, as well as the other four properties. Unlike most textbooks, the first two chapters of this book introduce thermodynamic properties and laws with the ideal gas model, where equations can be engaged. In this way, students can employ their familiar approaches, and thus can understand them much better. In order to help students understand entropy in depth, interpretation with statistical physics is introduced. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss control-mass and control-volume processes with general fluids, where the data tables are used to solve problems. Chapter 5 covers a few advanced topics, which can also help students understand the concepts in thermodynamics from a broader perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text Book Engineering Thermodynamics This Textbook of Engineering Thermodynamics has been prepared to meet the requirements of technical schools desiring a briefer treatment of the subject than that contained in the original "Engineering Thermodynamics," by Charles E. Lucke, of which this book is an abridgment. Since Rankine's time the science of thermodynamics has been highly developed and has become of great importance in the formulation of modern physical chemistry and its correlated branches in engineering. Thermodynamics, per se, is not concerned with any physical substance, it is rather a theory of energy in relation to matter. Engineering thermodynamics, while making use of those principles of pure thermodynamics which may help to solve its problems, must rely on a great mass of facts or relations that have not attained the dignity of thermodynamic laws. Its field includes a portion of that of pure thermodynamics, but it extends far beyond the established provinces of that subject and reaches to the interpretation of all pertinent principles and facts for purely useful purposes. One of the most promising applications of engineering thermodynamics is to be found in the establishment of limits of possible performance of heat apparatus and machines. These limits show what might be expected of a steam engine, gas engine or refrigerating machine when its mechanism is quite perfect; thus they become standards of reference, and a measure of improvements yet possible. These methods and practices are also applicable to the analysis of the operating performance of complete plants to discover the amount of energy being lost, how the total amount is divided between the different elements of the apparatus, which of the losses can be prevented and how, and finally which are unavoidable. In this book the treatment has followed that of the larger work, based upon the application of the laws of pure thermodynamics, modified by conditions of practice, to guide computation on thermal problems which deal with physical substances under actual conditions of operation. The subject is divided into three general parts: Part I deals with the conditions surrounding the doing of work without any consideration of heat changes; Part II, with heat gains and losses by substances without reference to work involved; and Part III, transformation of heat into work or work into heat in conjunction with changes in the condition of substances. The first part applies to the behavior of fluids in the cylinders of compressors and engines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Thermodynamics for Engineers written by Kau-Fui Vincent Wong and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-06-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspiring engineers have long needed a text that prepares them to use thermodynamics in professional practice. Thermodynamics instructors need a concise textbook written for a one-semester undergraduate course-a text that foregoes clutter and unnecessary details but furnishes the essential facts and methods. Thermodynamics for Engineers fills both those needs. Paying special attention to the learning process, the author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics. His approach is remarkably cohesive. For example, he develops the same example through his presentation of the first law and both forms of the second law- entropy and exergy. He also unifies his treatments of the conservation of energy, the creation of entropy, and the destruction of availability by using a balance equation for each, thus emphasizing the commonality between the laws and allowing easier comprehension and use. Accessible, practical, and cohesive, Thermodynamics for Engineers builds a solid foundation for advanced engineering studies and practice. It exposes students to the "big picture" of thermodynamics, and its streamlined presentation allows glimpses into important concepts and methods rarely offered by texts at this level.
