Synopsis

Developed from lectures delivered to engineering students, this concise work sets out fundamental concepts in thermodynamics and shows how they can be understood as plausible and useful. The approach is deliberately informal, using vivid, lively examples and a fresh perspective to clarify systems and the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

It is positioned to be valued not only by students, but also by scientists, engineers, technicians and businesspeople, as well as anyone confronting future energy challenges.
