PB - McGraw Hill KW - Thermodynamics N1 - Includes index; Basic concepts of thermodynamics; properties of pure substances; the first law of thermodynamics - closed systems, control volumes; the second law of thermodynamics; entropy - a measure of disorder; energy - a measure of work potential; gas power cycles; vapour and combined power cycles; refrigeration cycles; thermodynamics property; gas mixtures; gas vapour mixtures and air conditioning; chemical reactions; chemical and phase equilibrium; thermodynamics of high-speed fluid flow; property tables and charts (SI units, English units); about the software N2 - This text aims to present the key topics in thermodynamics in an accessible manner, using a physical, intuitive approach rather than a highly mathematical one. It uses numerous SI units, and highlights the use of imperial units with a special icon ER -
