Synopsis

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.

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

Presents a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of the subject from the classical perspective to offer a problem–solving methodology that encourages systematic thinking. Noted for its treatment of the second law, this text clearly presents both theory and application. The presentation of chemical availability has been extended by a cutting– edge discussion of standard chemical availability. Design applications and problems have been updated to include economic considerations. Environmental topics have also been expanded and updated. The new version of Interactive Thermodynamics (IT) is a powerful windows–based software program that now includes equation–solver, printing, graphing, data retrival and simulation capabilities.
