Thermodynamics

Does not come with any standard English units in the appendix.

Great book for thermal engineering. Received it in great condition

I have no idea what this is, since my son uses my Amazon account for his college books. It is likely a beautiful love story, though.

I did not know it is not the color version until I received it, and it did not mention that it is indian edition. Disappointed.

Book arrived within the expected time range expectation.Thank you.

I got a used hardcover book not a new paperback which is awesome for 30$

I don't mind that it's in SI but if i needed this for class I'd definitely be livid.

Yes!!! Very cool.

This book taught me thermodynamics so well. Concepts which I thought were confusing are actually simple. The theoretical explanation is brilliant. After reading this I even thought of choosing thermal field as my career choice, which was mechanical design before. But actually, thermodynamics is used in so many branches of engineering.The book starts off with intro, energy & energy transfer, props of pure substances, energy analysis of closed systems and control volumes, 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy, exergy, power cycles(gas, vapour and refrigeration), property relations, gas & gas-vapour mixtures(air conditioning), chemical reactions & equilibrium and compressible flow.( property tables also provided at the end)The chapters on entropy and exergy are written so well that I never had any difficulty to solve 2018 GATE questions of it. But I felt chapters on Power cycles (esp gas power cycles) require more problematic explanation too, that include formulae, along with the brilliant theory provided.Go for this one if you need to understand concepts well (problems are also provided).Recommended to all the engineers.

Engines:2.1 Definition & classification.2.2 Main parts of an I.C. Engine & their functions2.2 Working Principle of 2 stroke & 4 stroke Petrol &Diesel Engine, their differences and applications.2.3 Major troubleshooting & remedial measures for I.C.Engines.05 7Unit: 4 Air Compressors:3.1 Definition, Classification & application of AirCompressor.3.2 Construction & Working Principle of Single stagereciprocating Compressor.3.3 Working Principle of centrifugal and ScrewCompressor.3.4 Major troubleshooting & remedial measures for AirCompressor.05 5Unit : 5 Hydrostatics & Pumps:4.1 Atmospheric pr. , Absolute pr. & Gauge pressure.4.2 Determination of pressure at a point, pressuremeasuring instrument.4.3 Classification of Pumps and their applications.4.4 Working principle of Single acting & Double actingReciprocating pump.4.5 Working principle of Centrifugal Pump.4.6 Reason for malfunctioning & remedial measures forPumps.Missing most part of the above about 90%But book is gd though Black and White hard to find important topics ,language is easy

This book make you to fall in love with thermodynamics bcs theory part is excellent with lots of diagrams and real life question .i also have pk nag (4th edition ) which is not good theory wise very difficult to understand .....but this book is colurless.

This author is great. If you have purchased fluid mechanics also, then you'd find more on how TD and FM are correlated. I use both books supplemented by NPTEL lectures. Killer combination.

Book condition:Slightly damaged but negotiable for its price(Rs 200).Book:book is excellent for conceptual purpose and it will develope problem solving approach as we go through the theory and solved examples...For beginners it is the exact same thing which they are looking for.Book text is written quite systematic for learning and develops intrest to the subject even more.In conclusion,it will make you fall in love with thermodynamics...
