Understanding Thermodynamics
Grappling with the first and second laws of thermodynamics can test the intellectual mettle of even the most dedicated student of the physical sciences. Van Neer's clear, lucid treatment is readily comprehensible by undergraduate-level science and engineering students. Approaching the subject for the first time may raise more queries and doubts than are usually handled in the basic, straightforward textbook.Based on a series of lectures delivered to 500 sophomore engineering students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Dr.
This book, a companion to a basic textbook, discusses thermodynamics, a topic of profound importance in the study of physics, in a manner which elucidates fundamental concepts and demonstrates their practical applicability.In these increasingly energy-conscious and His language is informal, his examples are vivid and lively, his perspective is fresh.
