Advanced thermodynamics for engineers /

Introduces basic concepts that apply over a range of engineering thermodymanics technologies. Considers approaches to cycles, enabling their irreversibility to be taken into account. Gives a detailed study of combustion to show how the chemical energy in a fuel is converted into thermal energy and e...
