Professor Wang presents a coherent theory-structure of thermodynamics and clarifies the meaning of heat and the definition of energy in a manner that is both scientifically rigorous and engaging, and explains contemporary understanding of engineering thermodynamics in continuum of its historical evolution. The textbook reinforces students' grasp of concepts with end-of-chapter problems and provides a historical background of pioneering work by Black, Laplace, Carnot, Joule, Thomson, Clausius, Maxwell, Planck, Gibbs, Poincare and Prigogine.
Developed primarily as a core text for graduate students in engineering programs, and as reference for professional engineers, this book maximizes readers' understanding and shines a light on new horizons for our energy future.
Brings forth students' understanding of how heat and work are different and why the principle of their inter-convertibility (i.e., exchangeability) should be rejected;
Elucidates the constructive role of entropy growth, and the notion that energy matters, but entropy growth matters more;
Demonstrates that heat can be transferred, produced, and extracted;
Teaches readers that all reversible-like processes are heat extraction processes and how this understanding will revolutionize the design of future buildings.
