Lectures in Thermodynamics communicates the richness of thermodynamics and helps undergraduates grow as professional engineers. Volume 1 is composed of 11 Parts which are divided into 44 Lectures--short chapters that balance a systematic development of fundamentals against the application of those fundamentals to engineering analysis and design. The presentation is rigorous but informal, multi-layered but focused.
The development clearly distinguishes between basic concepts (the laws) and models (equations of state). A problem-solving template is presented to encourage students to work in a deductive manner from basic concepts to their particular problem situation.
The book includes ten appendices, 309 original problems, and thirteen Learning Devices--suggestions for helping students approach technical material in nonlinear ways.
