Fundamentals of Thermodynamics

About this book

Discover the Basics of Thermodynamics with the Field's Leading Textbook for over Thirty Years

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerning the relationship between heat and temperature on the one hand, and energy, entropy, and the properties of matter on the other. Its engineering applications are innumerable, and include engine design, heat transfer, air conditioning and refrigeration, energy conversion, and more. For more than three decades, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics has served as the foundational introduction to this subject for students and interested readers. Now fully updated to incorporate the latest research and new pedagogical tools, it promises to continue as the field's indispensable survey.

Readers of the Eleventh Edition of Fundamentals of Thermodynamics will find:

  • Detailed, step-by-step worked-through examples to facilitate learning
  • New material on statistical thermodynamics and other burgeoning subjects
  • An expansive collection of online resources including bonus chapters, additional problem sets, study problems, and more

Fundamentals of Thermodynamics is ideal for students and instructors in thermodynamics or engineering of thermodynamics at the intermediate or advanced undergraduate level.
