Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach : Yunus A. Cengel

Creating accessible products is a priority for McGraw Hill. We make accessibility and adhering to WCAG AA guidelines a part of our day-to-day development efforts and product roadmaps. One-Dimensional Isentropic Compressible-Flow Functions for an Ideal Gas with Constant Specific Heats and Molar Mass, and k = 1.4 Dr Boles specializes in heat transfer and has been involved in the analytical and numerical solution of phase change and drying of porous media. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), and Sigma Xi. Dr Boles received the ASEE Meriam/Wiley Distinguished Author Award in 1992 for excellence in authorship. Michael A. Boles is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University, where he earned his PhD in mechanical engineering and is an Alumni Distinguished Professor. Dr Boles has received numerous awards and citations for excellence as an engineering educator. He is a past recipient of the SAE Ralph R. Teetor Education Award and has been twice elected to the NCSU Academy of Outstanding Teachers. The NCSU ASME student section has consistently recognized him as the outstanding teacher of the year and the faculty member having the most impact on mechanical engineering students. The 10th edition of this introductory book retains all the popular features of the previous edition while providing updates for clarity and readability throughout the text. Some end-of-chapter problems in the text have been modified and some problems were replaced by new ones. Continue reading for a more detailed, chapter-by-chapter list of changes to the new edition.

All the popular features of the previous editions are retained while new ones are added. With the exception of major revisions of Chapters 6 and 7 and the addition of some new sections in other chapters, the main body of the text remains largely unchanged. The most significant changes in this edition are highlighted below. In Chap. 7, the term "availability" is replaced by "exergy" because of the universal use of the latter. Also, "irreversibility" is mostly replaced by "exergy destruction." This chapter is extensively revised to incorporate the exergy balance concept. EES is particularly useful in thermodynamics problems since most property data needed for solving problems in these areas are provided by the program. For example, the steam tables are implemented such that any thermodynamic property can be obtained from a built-in function call in terms of any other properties. Similar capability is provided for all substances. EES also allows the user to enter property data or functional relationships with lookup tables, with internal functions written with EES, or with externally compiled functions written in Pascal, C, C++, or Fortran. Interesting practical problems that may have implicit solutions are often not assigned because of the mathematical complexity involved. EES allows the user to concentrate on concepts by freeing him or her from mundane chores.

Thermodynamics - Mechanical Engineering - Engineering

The traditional classical, or macroscopic, approach is used throughout the text, with microscopic arguments serving in a supporting role where appropriate. This approach is more in line with the students’ intuition and makes learning the subject matter much easier.Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications is written for the first fluid mechanics course for undergraduate engineering students, with sufficient material for a two-course sequence. This Third Edition in SI Units has the same objectives and goals as previous editions: Yunus A. Çengel received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from North Carolina State University and joined the faculty of mechanical engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he has been teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in thermodynamics and heat transfer while conducting research. He has published primarily in the areas of thermodynamics, radiation heat transfer, natural convection, solar energy, geothermal energy, energy conservation, and engineering education. He has also authored the books Introduction to Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer and Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach, both published by McGraw-Hill. He has led teams of engineering students to numerous manufacturing facilities in Northern Nevada and California to conduct energy audits, and has prepared energy conservation reports for them. Dr. Çengel has been voted outstanding teacher by the ASME student sections in both North Carolina State University and the University of Nevada, Reno. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach 8th Edition Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach 8th Edition

The new edition features an early introduction of the first law of thermodynamics, separate coverage of closed systems energy analysis, combined coverage of control volume mass and energy analysis, and revised coverage of compressible flow. Over 300 comprehensive problems have been added to this physically intuitive text, many of which come from industrial applications. With the exception of some fine-tuning, the main body of the text remains largely unchanged. The noteworthy changes in various chapters are summarized below for those who are familiar with the previous edition.The Instructor’s Manual is prepared with a scientific word processor, and it provides complete and detailed solutions to end-of-chapter problems. The solutions may be photocopied for posting or preparing transparencies for classroom discussions. In Chap. 3, a new section "Refrigeration and Freezing of Foods" is added to show the relevance of thermodynamics to everyday life. Also, the first-law relation is redeveloped using an intuitive approach. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to our wives Zehra and Sylvia and our children for their continued patience, understanding, encouragement, and support throughout this project.
