Energy is emerging as one of the 21st century's biggest issues, and thermodynamics will play a central role in providing the world’s energy needs. An understanding of engineering thermodynamics helps an engineer analyze and design more efficient energy conversion systems -- systems that can range from automobile engines to fuel cells, from power plants to wind turbines. In Modern Engineering Thermodynamics, author Robert Balmer integrates modern theories with relevant applications to promote a greater understanding of the subject. Written in an easily accessible conversational style in which common student conceptual problems have been anticipated and addressed, this book is ideal for a one or two semester thermodynamics course at the sophomore or junior level.
