It emphasises the use of thermodynamic diagrams (enthalpy-entropy for steam, psychrometric chart for moist air, pressure-enthalpy diagram for refrigerants) to quickly and accurately obtain data necessary for engineering calculations.

The text presents in a compact volume - less than 200 pages, that can be covered in 45 hours of lecture - all the basic aspects of thermodynamic phenomena including elements of combustion and heat transfer processes, with emphasis on the elements that are essential in industrial applications: calculation of thermal efficiencies for thermal power plants, internal combustion engines, etc., calculations of coefficients of performance for refrigerators and heat pumps, etc.

Readership: This textbook is intended for students working towards a Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, as well as engineers and technicians.

Non-flow Thermodynamic Processes of an Ideal Gas.

A collection of more than 50 carefully tailored problems to promote greater understanding of the subject, supported by relevant property tables and diagrams are included along with a solutions manual. It covers the fundamentals of applied thermodynamics, including heat transfer and environmental control. This book is intended for undergraduate students in mechanical engineering.
