Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Temperature -- 3. Work and heat transfer -- 4. First law of thermodynamics -- 5. First law applied to flow processes -- 6. Second law of thermodynamics -- 7. Entropy -- 8. Exergy -- 9. Properties of pure substances -- 10. Properties of gases and gas mixtures -- 11. Thermodynamic relations, equilibrium and stability -- 12. Vapour power cycles -- 13. Gas power cycles -- 14. Refrigeration cycles -- 15. Psychrometries -- 16. Reactive systems -- 17. Compressible fluid flow -- 18. Gas compressors -- Appendices.
Summary: The book has a holistic study of topics of thermodynamic applications, automobile IC systems and power-plant engineering. Specific to each chapter are solved numericals as examples and a summary that highlights the laws, formulae and important points that help in making revision easier for readers. Additionally, this edition has an expanded version of the chapter on energy. To test the readers’ understanding of the chapters, many review questions are provided at the end of each topic. There are several multiple choice questions from previous year’s papers of GATE. An appendix section with the important glossary and latest thermodynamic trends has been included.
