Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics

Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics, 2nd Edition, introduces foundational thermodynamic principles and their technical applications. Written by John R. Reisel, the textbook adopts an informal, first-person presentation to make abstract concepts easier to understand.

The volume explores how varying specific system parameters influences device and process performance. For instance, it examines how changes in turbine outlet pressure impact power generation.

In addition to conceptual explanations, the text guides students in building computer models of thermodynamic processes and retrieving data using online programs and computer applications.
