An Introduction to Thermodynamics for Undergraduate Engineering Students

By Jack Winnick

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics by Jack Winnick offers a contemporary approach to thermodynamics, presenting it as a practical tool rather than just theoretical exercises. The text introduces the second law of thermodynamics from a novel perspective, avoiding statistical arguments and instead focusing on physical experience. It simplifies phase equilibrium problem-solving by using accessible mathematical software rather than complex programming. The book also covers electrochemical systems, including batteries and fuel cells, with numerous examples illustrating real-world design applications.

This textbook is ideal for chemical engineering students and professionals seeking a clear, practical understanding of thermodynamics, especially those interested in design and electrochemical systems.

This book illustrates the practical nature of thermodynamics in chemical engineering. It uses a minimum of mathematics with no sacrifice of rigor. It presents the second law in an innovative manner independent of statistical arguments, instead developing it as a natural consequence of physical experience.

Description

The aim of this contemporary textbook is to show students that thermodynamics is a useful tool, not just a series of theoretical exercises. Written in a conversational style, the text presents the second law in a totally new manner—there is no reliance on statistical arguments; instead, it is developed as a natural consequence of physical experience.

Students are not required to write complex, iterative computer programmes to solve phase equilibrium problems—techniques are presented which enable use of readily available math packages. The book also explores electrochemical systems such as batteries and fuel cells.

Included in the extensive amount of examples are those which demonstrate the use of thermodynamics in practical design situations.

Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics by Jack Winnick offers an insightful approach to understanding the subject through practical applications and examples.
