Publisher's Synopsis
Integrating computers, software, tutorials and design problems in a logical and straightforward manner, this introductory text provides students with a well-rounded understanding of complex concepts in order to help them solve difficult thermodynamics problems more easily. It features chapter coverage of compressible flow, a new refrigerant (R-134-1) and environmental factors as they relate to energy systems. Over 80 design/computer-related end-of-chapter problems integrate design concepts and encourage consideration of design in energy systems.
