• Students develop a strong understanding of core material
• See Ch 5 The Second Law of Thermodynamics

Provides physical explanations of key thermodynamic concepts

•   ‘Word equations’ explain key thermodynamic relations.  See section 2.5 when introducing the First Law of Thermodynamics.
• Realistic illustrations relate a problem to a recognizable situation.  See section 4.3, examples 4.3 – 4.9.    

Emphasis on solving engineering problems through practice

• All worked examples follow a consistent problem-solving procedure to help students define the appropriate system, make necessary assumptions, and set up and solve the problem

Interactive Thermodynamics software (IT v. 3.0)

• Complements the Sixth Edition through optional text discussions and through use in selected examples
• Assists in property data calculations, modeling thermodynamic systems, and calculating solutions to systems of thermodynamics equations
