Thermodynamics for Engineers

Beschreibung

This second edition presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics from a classical point of view to prepare engineering students for professional practice. Taking an accessible, straightforward, and cohesive approach, the book exposes readers to the "big picture" of thermodynamics, and its streamlined presentation allows glimpses into important concepts and methods rarely offered by texts at this level. This edition includes a new chapter on thermodynamic property relations and every chapter has updated, expanded problem sets. The author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics that can be used for reference or for a one-semester course.

Autor

Kaufui Vincent Wong grew up in Malaysia and came to the United States in 1973. As a youngster, he wished to be an engineer because of his passion for mathematics, which was accomplished when he obtained the bachelor's degree with honors in mechanical engineering at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1973. He obtained his PhD at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, in 1976. His wish to teach engineering students from all over the world came true when he became a faculty member at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, in 1979. In 2000, he published his first book for engineering students. In 2003, he published his second textbook for graduate engineers. He has authored and coauthored over 160 technical papers. In the past decade, he has broadened his teachings by using mass media, including YouTube. He accomplished his personal goal of visiting all seven continents in 2001 when he completed his trip to Antarctica.
