This book presents a complete introduction to the fundamentals of the theory and application of thermodynamics. Revisions include a new chapter on the sources, uses and management of energy as well as major updating of the chapters on internal combustion engines and psychometry. It features new sections on extended surfaces, two-dimensional and transient conduction using finite difference methods, and the NTU method for heat exchanger design. It also stresses the application of theory to real situations and applies principles to practical engineering problems.
