A Textbook Of Thermal Engineering

Two new chapters on eneral Themodynamic Relations and Variable Specific Heat have been Added.The mistake which had crept in have been elinimated.we wish to express our sincere thanks to numerous professors and students,both at home and abroad,for sending their valuable suggestions and also for recommending the book to their students and friends.

Thermodynamics And Thermal Engineering, A Core Text In Si Units, Meets The Complete Requirements Of The Students Of Mechanical Engineering In All Universities. Ultimately, It Aims At Aiding The Students Genuinely Understand The Basic Principles Of Thermodynamics And Apply Those Concepts To Practical Problems Confidently. It Provides A Clear And Detailed Exposition Of Basic Principles Of Thermodynamics. Concepts Like Enthalpy, Entropy, Reversibility, Availability Are Presented In Depth And In A Simple Manner. Important Applications Of Thermodynamics Like Various Engineering Cycles And Processes Are Explained In Detail. Introduction To Latest Topics Are Enclosed At The End.Each Topic Is Further Supplemented With Solved Problems Including Problems From Gate, Ies Exams, Objective Questions Along With Answers, Review Questions And Exercise Problems Alongwith Answers For An Indepth Understanding Of The Subject.

This book has been developed to enable engineering students understand basic concepts of Thermal Engineering in a simple and easy to understand manner.

“A Textbook of Thermal Engineering” encompasses all theories of the subject thereby making it a must-read for all students of Mechanical Engineering. Topics such as General Thermodynamic Relations and Variable Specific Heat as well as Turbines (M-pulse, Reaction) and Air Compressors have been dealt in detail. In addition to the exhaustive topical coverage, numerous solved examples and chapter-end exercises and questions have been added to make the student understand all aspects of concepts explained. A book which has seen, foreseen and incorporated changes in the subject for close to 40 years, it continues to be one of the most sought after texts by the students.

Pearson introduces the first edition of Thermal Engineering a complete offering for the undergraduate engineering students. With lucid exposition of the fundamental concepts along with numerous worked-out examples and well-labeled detailed illustrations, this book provides a holistic understanding of the subject. The content in the book encompasses applied thermodynamics, power plant engineering, energy conversion and management, internal combustion engines, turbomachinery, gas turbines and jet propulsion and refrigeration and air-conditioning taught at different levels of the curriculum.
