Principles of Engineering Thermodynamics, SI Edition, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that introduces fundamental thermodynamic concepts and engineering applications.

Core coverage addresses the nature of energy, equations of state, and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The volume also examines applied systems, including power and refrigeration cycles, ideal gas mixtures, psychrometrics, and combustion analysis.

Written in an informal, first-person style, the textbook guides students in evaluating how changing system parameters, such as turbine outlet pressure or compressor inlet temperature, affects overall performance. It also helps learners build computer-based models of thermodynamic devices, processes, and cycles.
