Succeed in your course and prepare for engineering practice with PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS Written in an informal first person writing style that makes abstract concepts easier to understand the book asks you to explore how changes in a particular parameter can change a device s or process performance This approach helps you develop a better understanding of how to apply thermodynamics in your future career and a stronger intuitive feel for how the different components of thermodynamics are interrelated Throughout the book you are encouraged to develop computer based models of devices processes and cycles and to take advantage of the speed of Internet based programs and computer apps to find thermodynamic data just as practicing engineers do Succeed in your course and prepare for engineering practice with PRINCIPLES OF ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS Written in an informal first person writing style that makes abstract concepts easier to understand the book asks you to explore how changes in a particular parameter can change a device s or process performance This approach ...helps you develop a better understanding of how to apply thermodynamics in your future career and a stronger intuitive feel for how the different components of thermodynamics are interrelated Throughout the book you are encouraged to develop computer based models of devices processes and cycles and to take advantage of the speed of Internet based programs and computer apps to find thermodynamic data just as practicing engineers do
