Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach

Product Information

Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications is written for the first fluid mechanics course for undergraduate engineering students, with sufficient material for a two-course sequence. This Third Edition in SI Units has the same objectives and goals as previous editions: In Chap. 3, a new section "Refrigeration and Freezing of Foods" is added to show the relevance of thermodynamics to everyday life. Also, the first-law relation is redeveloped using an intuitive approach.

THERMODYNAMICS: AN ENGINEERING APPROACH, SI

Each title in this series is a complete and expert source of solved problems with solutions worked out in step-by-step detail. In Chap. 15, the section "Phase Equilibrium" is greatly expanded to include Henry's law and solid–gas phase equilibrium. Our philosophy that contributed to the popularity of the first two editions remains unchanged: talk directly to the minds of tomorrow’s engineers in a simple, yet precise manner and encourage creative thinking and development of a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Our goal in this undertaking was to offer an engineering textbook that is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm instead of one that is used as a reference book to solve problems. We wanted to touch the curious minds and take them to a pleasant journey in the wonderful world of thermodynamics where they could explore the wonders of this exciting science. The enthusiastic response we received from the users of the earlier editions from small colleges to large universities indicates that our objectives have been achieved. Dr Çengel is the recipient of several outstanding teacher awards, and he received the ASEE Meriam/Wiley Distinguished Author Award for excellence in authorship in 1992 and again in 2000. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to our wives Zehra and Sylvia and our children for their continued patience, understanding, encouragement, and support throughout this project.

In Chap. 2, a new section, "Vapor Pressure and Phase Equilibrium" is added to expose students to the dynamics of phase-change processes and mass transfer. Also, Sec. 2-3 is expanded with discussions on some interesting consequences of the saturation temperature–pressure dependence. One-Dimensional Isentropic Compressible-Flow Functions for an Ideal Gas with Constant Specific Heats and Molar Mass, and k = 1.4 Dr Boles specializes in heat transfer and has been involved in the analytical and numerical solution of phase change and drying of porous media. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and Sigma Xi.

The Instructor’s Manual is prepared with a scientific word processor, and it provides complete and detailed solutions to end-of-chapter problems. The solutions may be photocopied for posting or preparing transparencies for classroom discussions. Each chapter contains numerous worked-out examples that clarify the material and illustrate the use of the basic principles. A consistent and systematic approach is used in the solution of the example problems, with particular attention to the proper use of units. A sketch and a process diagram are included for most examples to clearly illustrate the geometry and the type of process involved. All the popular features of the previous editions are retained while new ones are added. With the exception of major revisions of Chapters 6 and 7 and the addition of some new sections in other chapters, the main body of the text remains largely unchanged. The most significant changes in this edition are highlighted below. Alternatively, our dedicated Academic Consultants, Digital Success and Customer Support teams are there to help you discover the right solution for your needs. We can create a bespoke offering that will allow you to achieve the institutional and commercial objectives of your learning & teaching programme. In Chap. 7, the term "availability" is replaced by "exergy" because of the universal use of the latter. Also, "irreversibility" is mostly replaced by "exergy destruction." This chapter is extensively revised to incorporate the exergy balance concept.Thermodynamics is often perceived as a difficult subject, and the majority of students dread the experience. The authors believe, on the contrary, that thermodynamics is a simple subject, and an observant mind should have no difficulty understanding it. After all, the principles of thermodynamics are based on our everyday experiences and experimental observations. Thermodynamics is a mature basic science, and the topics covered in introductory texts are well established. Primarily, the texts differ only in the approach used. In this text, a more physical, intuitive approach is used throughout. Frequently, parallels are drawn between the subject matter and students’ everyday experiences so that they can relate the subject matter to what they already know. In response to the international treaties banning the use of the refrigerant-12 because of its destructive effect on the protective ozone layer of the earth, the refrigerant-12 tables in the appendix are deleted (they are kept in the software for this edition), and all the examples and problems dealing with refrigerant-12 are replaced by those dealing with refrigerant-134a. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many users of the first two editions at more than l50 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada and many others in several countries overseas for their comments, praises, and constructive criticism. Special thanks are due to faculty who reviewed the third edition with a critical eye and made valuable suggestions for improvements: We are gratified by the enthusiastic response this book has received, and we hope that the improvements made in the new edition will make it even more appealing. Your comments and criticisms are always welcome and will be greatly appreciated. Dr Kanoğlu has taught at the University of Nevada, Reno; Ontario Tech University; American University of Sharjah; and the University of Gaziantep. He is the co-author of the books Fundamentals and Applications of Renewable Energy (1st ed., 2020) and Energy Efficiency and Management for Engineers (1st ed., 2020), both published by McGraw-Hill.

Boost study time. Smartbook is an adaptive, interactive eBook that boosts learning by helping students study more efficiently, highlighting where in the chapter to focus. In addition, quiz questions throughout the chapters test students’ understanding, orienting them to topics they need to review and pointing them toward additional resources until they master the content.The traditional classical, or macroscopic, approach is used throughout the text, with microscopic arguments serving in a supporting role where appropriate. This approach is more in line with the students’ intuition and makes learning the subject matter much easier. EES programs, discussed below, have been developed to solve many of the example problems in the book and they are included on the accompanying Problems Disk. The EES problems developed for this book are denoted in the text with a disk symbol _. The Load Textbook command in EES will generate a separate menu for these programs so that they can easily be accessed. Each program provides detailed comments and on-line help. These programs should help the student master the important concepts without the calculational burden that has been previously required. The text is also available without the disk for those who do not wish to incorporate the software in the course. The menu-driven software that accompanied the second edition is available to adopters who prefer to continue to use it. Michael A.

Dr Çengel is also the author or co-author of the widely adopted textbooks Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications (6th ed., 2020), Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications (4th ed., 2018), Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences (6th ed., 2022), Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists (1st ed., 2013), Fundamentals and Applications of Renewable Energy (1st ed., 2020), and Energy Efficiency and Management for Engineers (1st ed., 2020), all published by McGraw-Hill. Some of his textbooks have been translated into Chinese (Long and Short Forms), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Greek, Tai, and Basq. Recent new definitions of kilogram, mole, ampere, and kelvin in the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 2018 are incorporated in Chaps. 1 and 2. The lengthy “Chapter 7 Entropy,” in the 9th edition is split into two chapters: “Chapter 7 Entropy,” which covers the fundamentals of entropy, and “Chapter 8 Entropy Analysis,” which covers the engineering application of entropy as well as the entropy balance. The new organization should provide instructors more flexibility for selective coverage of the subject matter. In Chap. 5, two new sections, "Energy Conversion Efficiencies" and "Household Refrigerators," are added. In the former section, combustion efficiency, motor efficiency, lighting efficiency, overall efficiency, and the heating values of fuels are presented. In the latter section, several ways of conserving energy while using a refrigerator are discussed. The use of a formal sign convention for heat and work is de-emphasized. Instead, an intuitive and unified approach is adopted for interactions. The mass, energy, entropy, and exergy balances for any system undergoing any process are expressed asThe new edition features an early introduction of the first law of thermodynamics, separate coverage of closed systems energy analysis, combined coverage of control volume mass and energy analysis, and revised coverage of compressible flow. Over 300 comprehensive problems have been added to this physically intuitive text, many of which come from industrial applications. The problems repeated in different unit systems are deleted to save space. However, the problems in English units are still designated by "E" following the problem number for easy recognition; the analysis is presented, and the results are discussed.
