Book description
This book concentrates specifically on the applications of
thermodynamics, rather than the theory. It addresses both technical and
pragmatic problems in the field, and covers such topics as enthalpy
effects, equilibrium thermodynamics, non-ideal thermodynamics and energy
conversion applications. Providing the reader with a working knowledge
of the principles of thermodynamics, as well as experience in their
application, it stands alone as an easy-to-follow self-teaching aid to
practical applications and contains worked examples.
