Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics

"Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics" is a comprehensive, up-to-date treatise on engineering thermodynamics, incorporating a complete compilation of original sources in print. The text presents the axiomatic and Gibbsian mathematical formulation of classical thermodynamics, a modern look at second law (exergy) analysis, and the latest research developments, including power generation in finite time, low temperature refrigeration, irreversible thermodynamics and solar energy conversion. Many worked examples are included.
