Publisher's Synopsis
Now with an even stronger pedagogical framework, Moran and Shapiro′s Fifth Edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics (SI Version) presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics, enabling students to develop a deeper, more complete understanding of subject.
Key features:
- Includes worked examples and over 1200 end–of–chapter questions.
- New Thermodynamics in the News items tie reports from the popular press, such as fuel cells, to concepts covered in the text.
- A strong problem solving methodology encourages readers to develop an orderly approach to problem solving, to think systematically and to reduce typical errors.
- End of chapter material builds problem solving skills in three modes: Conceptual (Exercises: Things Engineers Think About); Skill Building (Problems: Developing Engineering Skills); and Exploration (Design and Open–Ended Problems: Exploring Engineering Practice).
- Supplementary material for students and lecturers is provided on an accompanying website.
- Design/Open–Ended Problems provide brief design experiences that provide opportunities to think creatively, apply constraints and consider alternatives.
- Thorough development of the second law, featuring the entropy production concept and exergy analysis, provides a state–of–the–art introduction to second law analysis.
