Advanced Thermodynamics for Engineers

Advertisement

Engineering thermodynamics is basically equilibrium thermodynamics although for the first two years of the conventional undergraduate course these words are used but not often defined. Much of the thermodynamics done in the early years of a course also relies heavily on reversibility, without explicit consideration of the effects of irreversibility. This book introduces the effects of irreversibility through considerations of availability and the concept of the end reversible engine.
