Preface
Preface The book gives comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics while retaining an engineering perspective to use the thermodynamics in the practice of engineering. This is amply illustrated by solved and unsolved problems on nozzles, turbines, compressors, and steam power plants with the basic concepts of First Law and Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Third Law of Thermodynamics has also been introduced substantially in the chapter on Combustion in the Appendix.
