Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Turbomachinery, Fifth Edition

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2005

Several modifications have been incorporated into the text in the light of recent advances in some aspects of the subject. Further information on the interesting phenomenon of cavitation has been included and a new section on the optimum design of a pump inlet together with a worked example have been added which take into account...

The Thermodynamics of Phase and Reaction Equilibria

Elsevier Limited, 2012

This book provides a sound foundation for understanding abstract concepts of phase and reaction equilibria (e.g. partial molar Gibbs energy, fugacity, and activity), and shows how to apply these concepts to solve practical problems using numerous clear examples. It also presents numerical methods necessary for solving real-world problems as...

Introduction to Nonimaging Optics (Optical Science and Engineering)

CRC Press, 2008

from the foreword…a clear, self-contained and well organized introduction to Nonimaging Optics….will strongly contribute to the spread and understanding of Nonimaging Optics, helping engineers to find better solutions to many optical design problems where the transfer of light energy is critical.

Chemical Energy and Exergy: An Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics for Engineers

Elsevier Limited, 2004

This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers.
In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as...

Foundations of Modern Physics

Cambridge University Press, 2021

In addition to his ground-breaking research, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg is known for a series of highly praised texts on various aspects of physics, combining exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition. Describing the foundations of modern physics in their historical context and with some new derivations, Weinberg...

Special Bundle for the University of Liverpool, UK; An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering; Part I and An Intntroduction to Mechanical Engineering: ... to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2 (Pt. 2)

CRC Press, 2010

An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part 2 is an essential text for all second-year undergraduate students as well as those studying foundation degrees and HNDs. The text provides thorough coverage of the following core engineering topics:

Fluid dynamics

Thermodynamics

Statistical Mechanics

John Wiley & Sons, 1987

Unlike most other texts on the subject, this clear, concise introduction to the theory of microscopic bodies treats the modern theory of critical phenomena. Provides up-to-date coverage of recent major advances, including a self-contained description of thermodynamics and the classical kinetic theory of gases, interesting applications such as...

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics and Reactor Design

John Wiley & Sons, 2014

The Second Edition features new problems that engage readers in contemporary reactor design

Highly praised by instructors, students, and chemical engineers, Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics & Reactor Design has been extensively revised and updated in this Second Edition. The text...

Black Hole Physics - Basic Concepts and New Developments (Fundamental Theories of Physics)

Springer, 1998

It is not an exaggeration to say that one of the most exciting predictions of Einstein's theory of gravitation is that there may exist "black holes": putative objects whose gravitational fields are so strong that no physical bodies or signals can break free of their pull and escape. The proof that black holes do exist, and an analysis of...

Advanced Thermodynamics Engineering (Computational Mechanics and Applied Analysis Series)

CRC Press, 2001

We have written this text for engineers who wish to grasp the engineering physics of thermodynamic concepts and apply the knowledge in their field of interest rather than merely digest the abstract generalized concepts and mathematical relations governing thermodynamics. While the fundamental concepts in any discipline are relatively...

The Isaac Newton School of Driving: Physics and Your Car

The Johns Hopkins University, 2003

For some people, driving is an art; for others, it's a science. At the Isaac Newton School of Driving, though, every car is a laboratory on wheels and every drive an exciting journey into the world of physics. As explained by renowned science writer and physics professor Barry Parker—whose father was a car mechanic and garage...

Solid State Physics: Advances in Research and Applications, Vol. 34

Academic Press, 1979

The characteristics and theory of the thermal conductivity of solids was reviewed comprehensively in Volume 7 of this serial publication by Klemens. In a later article, appearing in Volume 12, Mendelssohn and Rosenberg surveyed the theory of and experience with low-temperature thermal conductivity of metals. The review by Slack in this volume...
