Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Thermochemistry, and Gas Dynamics

Download or read book Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Thermochemistry, and Gas Dynamics written by Joseph Kunc and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book discusses processes common in the three major fields of thermal science - Thermodynamics, Thermochemistry, and Gas Dynamics. Chapter topics include heat, work and entropy transfers in equilibrium, non-equilibrium, and local-equilibrium systems; calculus of multi-variable functions; equations of state of ideal and real gases; heat capacities of ideal and real gases and their mixtures; the Gibbs Equations; phase-equilibrium and multi-phase transitions; thermodynamic cycles and their efficiencies; fluxes and flow rates, subsonic and supersonic flows, and gas-dynamic shock waves; chemical equilibrium and rates of chemical reactions; the dissipation of energy in real systems, their exergies, and the available work. Part of the book discusses important systems of units used in science and engineering. Scattered through the text are numerous illustrative problems with solutions intended to help readers increase their understanding of the studied concepts and methods. Since thermal processes are important in many areas of science and technology, the book will be useful to students and professionals working in the areas, including the rapidly increasing number of those who work on multi-disciplinary projects but have no extended training in thermal sciences"--
