Editorial Review: Product Description: This book moves students toward a clear understanding and a firm grasp of the basic principles of thermodynamics. It communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner that encourages creative thinking. This edition presents an early introduction to the First Law of Thermodynamics, and establishes a general understanding of energy, mechanisms of energy transfer, and the concept of energy balance, thermo-economics, and conversion efficiency. It features over 700 new homework problems which further enhance the extensive and diverse homework problem sets, and physical intuition to help students develop a sense of the underlying physical mechanisms and a mastery of solving practical problems that an engineer is likely to face in the real world.The title includes a free Student Resources DVD containing Limited Academic Version of EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software with scripted solutions to selected text problems, Physical experiments in thermodynamics with videos and complete write-ups of the experiments, as well as actual data, and an Interactive Thermodynamics Tutorial to reinforce student learning of thermodynamics concepts.

 Rating:  - Drastically Different from 6th ed.I bought this book for a class that required the 6th edition, thinking that the problems would be different but the layout would be the same. Not so much. The layout is completely different; one chapter in this edition has been broken into two by the sixth. As a result, this book was completely useless to me. Rating: - Becareful!! International edOkay, I always bought international editions when I can get it cheaper, but!! BE CAREFUL this international edition the content is same but home work problems and solutions are mixed SO ARE NOT IDENTICAL TO THE US EDITION. When I turn in my first homework assignment, everything was wrong because this book have problems that are different than the US edition. Rating:  - TextbookIt was the correct textbook. It's an old version but that is what the prof required. Books are Books. Rating: - Ivestigation and extra helpThis book provide a excellent definition of Thermodynamic that help you to understand all concepts that you need to learn this subjet, the problems are very clear to understand the process to resolve they. Rating:  - A book for chemical engineers written by mechanical engineers...My class used only the first eleven chapters, but it was clear that the chapters were written more with a mechanical engineering bent of mind. The theory part was great, but the examples could use more work, especially for the thermodynamic cycle problems, which would have been much easier if an accompanying entropy-temperature graph was present. also, a few of the worked out solutions were incorrect. Overall, a good book, but keep a look out for alternates. Maybe the updated edition is better.. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
