Developed by an experienced academic to reduce information overload in his classroom, Essentials of Engineering Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications reinforces each topic through concept questions and representative problems with detailed, worked-out solutions. Figures and illustrations throughout tie each subject to the real world. You will gain a clear understanding of the laws of thermodynamics that drive our understanding of energy systems and their daily applications.Coverage includes:Basic thermodynamics conceptsEnergy transfer modesThe first law of thermodynamicsMacroscale mass and energy balancesTransient closed systemsSteady open uniform flow devicesThe second law of thermodynamicsThe T-s diagram and entropy calculationsExergy or minimizing energy wasteOpen and closed power cyclesReversed closed cycles

Fluidics originated as the description of pneumatic and hydraulic control systems, where fluids were employed (instead of electric currents) for signal transfer and processing.

Presents an understanding of medical implants and devices from a bioengineering standpoint. This text features worked examples and mathematical appendices; exercises and project assignments to stimulate critical thinking and build problem solving skills; and, various illustrations, including a 16-page full-color insert.

, the fundamentals of and basic applications in fluid mechanics and convection heat transfer with brief excursions into fluid-particle dynamics and solid mechanics. Such as target group of students would have had prerequisites in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and solid mechanics, where Part A would be a welcomed refresher.
