Engineering Thermodynamics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Engineering Thermodynamics For Years There Has Been An Important Demand For A Text Book On Thermodynamics Which Would Be Brief And Concise, But. At The Same Time So Clearly Written As Regards Explanation That Students Of Average Ability In Our Large Technical Schools Could Read It Without Difficulty. A Professor Of Thermodynamics Wrote Recently As Follows: I Like The Idea Of Making The Text Largely SelfExplanatory. T 00 Many Books Require The Reading Of Several Lines Between Every Two Lines Of The Text. This Book Has Been Prepared To Meet This Demand And In Writing It The Authors Have Kept In Mind These Requirements. Further, It Has Been The Idea Of The Authors To Make This Book Particularly Suitable For Use In The Larger Technical Schools Where It Is Possible To Give Special Courses On The Subjects Of Steam Turbines, Pneumatic Machinery, Internal Combustion Engines, Refrigeration And Pumping Ma Chinery. Usually In The Courses On These Subjects The Advanced And Special Theory Of Thermodynamics As It Relates To Each Of Them Is Taken Up With Completeness. At Present There Is Too Much Duplication Of Subject Matter In The Large Volumes On Thermodynamics Now Available, Which Are Made To Include The Descriptive Matter And The Applications Of These Special Subjects.
