Applied Thermodynamics for Engineering Technologists

5th edition of Applied thermodynamics for engineering technologists. This book intends to provide engineering students with a solid understanding of thermodynamics and the design of thermal plants. The book covers a wide range of topics without losing the necessary theoretical rigour; instead, the emphasis is on applying the theory to real-world processes and plants.

The book is intended to be a complete course text for degree courses in mechanical, aeronautical, chemical, environmental, and energy engineering, engineering science, and combined studies courses that include thermodynamics and related topics. Students pursuing technician diploma and certificate courses in engineering will find the book useful as well, while the information is more broad than they may require.
