This edition of the book continues to present a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics, while retaining an engineering perspective. The text lays the groundwork for subsequent studies in fields such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer and statistical thermodynamics, and prepares students to effectively apply thermodynamics in the practice of engineering.
