Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

Description

Thermodynamics Eight Edition covers the basic principles of thermodynamics while presenting a wealth of real-world engineering examples so students get a feel for how thermodynamics is applied in engineering practice. This text helps students to develop an intuitive understanding of thermodynamics by emphasizing the physics and physical arguments.

Cengel and Boles explore the various facets of thermodynamics through careful explanations of concepts and its use of numerous practical examples and figures, having students develop necessary skills to bridge the gap between knowledge and the confidence to properly apply knowledge.
