This textbook aims to present a detailed treatment of engineering thermodynamics from the classical viewpoint, while teaching the reader an orderly approach to problem solving. The text provides a development of the second law of thermodynamics (featuring the entropy-production concept), a discussion of availability analysis (including an introduction to chemical availability), and a description of application areas. Topics covered include control volume energy analysis, vapour power systems, gas power systems, thermodynamic relations for simple compressible substances, non-reacting ideal gas mixtures and psychrometrics, reacting mixtures and combustion, and chemical and phase equilibrium. In addition, there are 138 solved examples and over 1200 end-of-chapter problems, some requiring the use of a computer.
