DESCRIPTION:
From the Back CoverA proven pedagogical framework gives students the support they need!Now with an even stronger pedagogical framework, Moran & Shapiro’s Fifth Edition of Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics presents a comprehensive treatment of engineering thermodynamics. Available through the book’s website.. The text helps you develop a deeper and more complete understanding of the subject.Here’s how Moran & Shapiro’s approach works:New Thermodynamics in the News items tie reports from the popular press, such as fuel cells, to concepts covered in the text.A strong problem-solving methodology encourages readers to develop an orderly approach to problem solving, think systematically, and reduce typical errors.End-of-chapter materials builds problem-solving skills in three modes: Conceptual (Exercises: Things Engineers Think About); Skill building (Problems: Developing Engineering Skills); an
Excellent Thermo Text extant I have changed title from best to excellent because I have looked at Cengel Boles 3rd ed in the mean time which in some explanations I found a little better, and it answered some questions that arose in my mind, like max work between equilibrium states.There seems to be a lot of parallelism between the two books which seems more than coincidental. Interesting.Padding seems to be an inevitable consequence of marketing. For self-study older, cheaper versions of both texts are readily available ($5). Unfortunateley, the poor students don't have that option.This text presents the principles of Thermodynamics. A Customer said Well-conceived and executed. I have perused a number of thermodynamics texts and this one merits special note. The layout is clear and crisp and extensive problem sets provide the student with the opportunity to develop the "hands-on" approach to thermodynamics that is so critical for doing the job right. I have tried to load and run the "Interactive Thermodynamics v. 1.5" CD programs and problem set and found them to be well-conceived. (one wish is that the graphing capability would include a log (f) vs. 1/T with the accompanying slope, intercept and regression statistics.) The extensive use of both English and SI units as well as . "Too many words, but lots of examples" according to Eduardo Antico. This book crossed my path three times. First was my undergrad thermo course, as a prescribed text. I thought it was a little wordy but the verbosity did not contribute to my understanding. The more they tried to explain the concepts (e.g., on Kelvin's and Clausius' statements of the second law of thermodynamics), the more confusing they became. Needless to say, I didn't do too well. That, however, was another story.The second time was in my masters studies, and I was the TA for an undergrad thermo course (go figure). I took some examples and exercises for my students. But it still didn't change my opinio
Requiring only college-level physics and calculus, this popular book includes a realistic art program to give more realism to engineering devices and systems. A tested and proven problem-solving methodology encourages readers to think systematically and develop an orderly approach to problem solving: Provides readers with a state-of-the art introduction to second law analysis.Design/open-ended problems provide readers with brief design experiences that offer them opportunities to apply constraints and consider alternatives.. A comprehensive, best-selling introduction to the basics of engineering thermodynami
