The Expert System for Thermodynamics: A Visual Tour

For courses in Thermodynamics. TEST-The Expert System for Thermodynamics-is a visual environment for solving problems, pursuing what-if scenarios and learning thermodynamics online. This text reinforces the classical approach to thermodynamic problem solving by visually engaging its user through the fundamental steps-simplification of system, idealization of working fluid, approximations, use of thermodynamic plots, and interpreting the answers-to obtain a solution without a single line of programming.
