Modern Engineering ThermodynamicsBy - Robert Balmer, Retired,
Dean of Engineering and Computer Science Union College,
Schenectady, N.Y Designed for use in a standard two-semester
engineering thermodynamics course sequence. The first half of
the text contains material suitable for a basic Thermodynamics
course taken by engineers from all majors. The second half of
the text is suitable for an Applied Thermodynamics course in
mechanical engineering programs.The text has numerous features
that are unique among engineering textbooks, including
historical vignettes, critical thinking boxes, and case studies.
All are designed to bring real engineering applications into a
subject that can be somewhat abstract and mathematical. Over 200
worked examples and more than 1,300 end of chapter problems
provide the use opportunities to practice solving problems
related to concepts in the text. University students in
mechanical, chemical, and general engineering taking a
thermodynamics course. Hardbound, 0 pages Published: Dec
