The thermodynamics knowledge you need to succeed in class-and in your career
Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers the topics found in a typical undergraduate introductory thermodynamic course (which is an essential course to nearly all engineering degree programs). It also brings the subject to life with exciting content on where (and how!) thermodynamics is being used today (spoiler alert: everywhere!). You'll grasp the basics of how heat and energy interact, thermodynamic properties of reactions and mixtures, and how thermodynamic cycles are used to make things go. This useful guide also covers renewable energy systems, new refrigerant technology, and a more diverse perspective on the history of the field.
Within, you'll:
- Get clear explanations of the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic cycles, and beyond
- Read about real-world examples to help you connect with the content
- Practice solving thermodynamic problems to internalize what you've learned
For students looking for resources to demystify thermodynamics, Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition is the perfect choice. Become thermodynamically savvy with this accessible guide!
Michael Pauken, PhD, is a principal mechanical engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He specializes in spacecraft thermal control systems and interplanetary exploration.
