Thermodynamics: An Interactive Approach

Description

For the thermodynamics course in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department

Thermodynamics: An Interactive Approach employs a layered approach that introduces the important concepts of mass, energy, and entropy early, and progressively refines them throughout the text. To create a rich learning experience for today’s thermodynamics student, this book melds traditional content with the web-based resources and learning tools of TEST: The Expert System for Thermodynamics –an interactive platform that offers smart thermodynamic tables for property evaluation and analysis tools for mass, energy, entropy, and exergy analysis of open and closed systems. 

Key Features

This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.

Introduce Fundamental Theories Early

• A Layered Approach Introduces Fundamental Theories Early: This textbook uses a layered approach–important concepts are introduced early based on physical arguments and numerical experiments, and progressively refined in subsequent chapters.
• Each Chapter Develops a Distinctive Theme to Lay a Foundation for True Understanding: The book’s layered approach introduces the fundamental concepts of mass, energy, and entropy in chapters 1-5, and then expands on these concepts in chapters 6-15. Consistent terminology and symbols are used to increase clarity. Throughout the book physical arguments are used to simplify concepts, support mathematical arguments, and explain numerically derived conclusions.
• “Did You Know?” Boxes Encourage Students to Learn and Evaluate on their Own: “Did You Know?” boxes increase curiosity as they instill a sense of benchmarking. For example, students will learn to estimate how much fuel will be needed to accelerate a truck to its freeway kinetic energy without consulting any tables or charts.

Engage Students with Interactive Content

TEST provides engaging learning tools and brings interactive visual connections to the classroom. The book is written in a way that allows instructors to decide the extent that TEST is integrated with homework or in the classroom. The web-based resources and engaging learning tools of TEST include:

• TEST calc Learning Tools: These thermodynamic calculators can be used to verify manual solutions, create thermodynamic plots, analyze a system or a process, and run “What-if” scenarios.
• “What-if” Scenarios: Many problems in the book have a “What-if” Scenario, which asks for evaluation of the effect of changing an input variable on the analysis. Once a manual solution is verified through a TEST solution, a “What-if” study is almost effortless; students can simply change a parameter and click the Super-Calculate button to see its effect on the entire solution.
• Tables: Property tables and charts are organized into easily accessible web pages that instructors can use in the classroom to create a powerful visual connection between a series of dull numbers and coordinates in a thermodynamic plot.
• Animations: TEST provides a huge library of animations that is referenced throughout the book and integrated with the Problems module.
• Interactive Animations: The simulations come with built-in parametric study tools.
• Thermodynamic Diagrams: When states are calculated by a state TESTcalc, they can be instantly visualized on a thermodynamic plot. Another type of diagram called the flow diagram is introduced in the book, to graphically describe the inventory of energy, entropy, and exergy of a system or a process.

Teaching and Learning Experience

To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program will:

• Personalize Learning with Individualized Coaching: Mastering Engineering emulates the instructor’s office-hour environment using self-paced individualized coaching.
• Introduce Fundamental Theories Early: A layered approach introduces important concepts early, and progressively refines them in subsequent chapters to lay a foundation for true understanding.
• Engage Students with Interactive Content: To create a rich learning experience for today’s thermodynamics student, this book melds traditional content with web-based resources and learning tools.
