An Introduction to Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics by Keith Stowe

By Keith Stowe

This introductory textbook for traditional undergraduate classes in thermodynamics has been thoroughly rewritten to discover a better variety of issues, extra essentially and concisely. beginning with an summary of vital quantum behaviours, the booklet teaches scholars how one can calculate possibilities to be able to supply an organization starting place for later chapters. It introduces the tips of classical thermodynamics and explores them either ordinarily and as they're utilized to precise techniques and interactions. the rest of the e-book offers with statistical mechanics. every one subject ends with a boxed precis of rules and effects, and each bankruptcy comprises various homework difficulties, overlaying a large diversity of problems. solutions are given to odd-numbered difficulties, and options to even-numbered difficulties can be found to teachers at www.cambridge.org/9781107694927.

Advances in Heat Transfer

Advances in warmth move fills the knowledge hole among on a regular basis scheduled journals and university-level textbooks through delivering in-depth assessment articles over a broader scope than in journals or texts. The articles, which function a wide assessment for specialists within the box, can be of serious curiosity to non-specialists who have to preserve updated with the result of the newest study.

Energy Systems: A New Approach to Engineering Thermodynamics

Regarded as rather tough by way of generations of scholars and engineers, thermodynamics utilized to strength platforms can now learn with an unique guideline process. power structures applies a very diverse method of the calculation, program and conception of a number of power conversion applied sciences.

The Elements of Aerofoil and Airscrew Theory (Cambridge Science Classics)

Greater than part a century has elapsed because the first variation of the weather of Aerofoil and Airscrew conception seemed in 1926, a interval during which sizeable advances were made within the knowing and outline of aerodynamic phenomena. but Glauert was once an said grasp of his topic and his e-book continues to be the main lucid and top organised creation to the basic ideas of aerodynamics that has ever been written.

Instrumentation, Measurements, and Experiments in Fluids

Mechanical engineers concerned with movement mechanics have lengthy wanted an authoritative reference that delves into the entire necessities required for experimentation in fluids, a source which could offer primary evaluate, in addition to the main points helpful for experimentation on every little thing from family home equipment to hi-tech rockets.
