About the Book

This new edition provides a student-friendly approach that emphasizes the relevance of thermodynamics principles to some of the most critical issues of today and coming decades, including a wealth of integrated coverage of energy and the environment, biomedical / bioengineering, as well as emerging technologies. Visualization skills are developed and basic principles demonstrated through a complete set of animations that have been interwoven throughout. It also introduces co-authors Daisie Boettner and Margaret Bailey, who bring their rich backgrounds of success in teaching and research in thermodynamics to the text.
