Synopsis

This text contains a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics. Noted for its treatment of the second law, it features theory and application, and includes a functional new format utilizing colour, new design problem sections, and animation. It contains a thorough development of the first and second laws of thermodynamics including entropy production and new material on the international temperature scale and refridgerants. A problem-solving methodology is carried through each chapter with examples, illustrative problems and chapter-end problems, encouraging students to develop an orderly approach to problem solving, to think systematically and reduce typical errors.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

A proven pedagogical framework gives students the support they need!

Now with an even stronger pedagogical framework, Moran & Shapiro s Fifth Edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics. The text helps you develop a deeper and more complete understanding of the subject.

Here s how Moran & Shapiro s approach works:

• New Thermodynamics in the News items tie reports from the popular press, such as fuel cells, to concepts covered in the text.
• A strong problem–solving methodology encourages readers to develop an orderly approach to problem solving, think systematically, and reduce typical errors.
• End–of–chapter materials builds problem–solving skills in three modes: Conceptual (Exercises: Things Engineers Think About); Skill building (Problems: Developing Engineering Skills); and Exploration (Design and Open–Ended Problems: Exploring Engineering Practice).
• Online study guide, including key concepts summaries and additional homework problems with answers and selected solutions, offer tools to test your understanding of chapter material.
• Design/Open–Ended Problems provide brief design experiences that provide opportunities to think creatively, apply constraints, and consider alternatives.
• Thorough development of the second law, featuring the entropy production concept and energy analysis, provide a state–of–the–art introduction to second law analysis.
• IT: Interactive Thermodynamics software (purchased separately) features property data calculation, systems modeling, and what if calculation capabilities, so you can explore more realistic thermodynamic system behavior.
• ThermoNet tutorials for basic engineering concepts feature animations, pop–up quizzes, and additional worked examples. Available through the book s website.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Using a classical viewpoint, this Second Edition offers a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics in order to provide a sound basis for subsequent courses in heat transfer and fluid mechanics and to prepare students to use thermodynamics in professional practice. New features include more than 1300 end–of–chapter problems ranging from confidence–building exercises to more challenging issues that may involve systems with several components, including numerous problems requiring the use of a computer; over 100 design and open–ended problems which are intended as brief design experiences affording students opportunities to develop their engineering judgment and creativity; the International Temperature Scale and refrigerant material; plus interactive software designed to reinforce important ideas and hone students′ problem–solving skills.
