Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics (US and SI Versions), By MICHAEL J. MORAN, HOWARD N. SHAP
In the twenty-first century, engineering thermodynamics plays a central role in developing improved ways to pro- vide and use energy, while mitigating the serious human health and environmental consequences accompanying energy—including air and water pollution and global cli- mate change. Applications in bioengineering, biomedical systems, and nanotechnology also continue to emerge. This book provides the tools needed by specialists working in all such fields. For non-specialists, this book provides back- ground for making decisions about technology related to thermodynamics—on the job and as informed citizens. Engineers in the twenty-first century need a solid set of analytical and problem-solving skills as the founda- tion for tackling important societal issues relating to engineering thermodynamics. The seventh edition develops these skills and significantly expands our cov- erage of their applications to provide.
