Synopsis
Take some heat off the complexity of thermodynamics Does the mere thought of thermodynamics make you sweat? It doesn't have to! This hands-on guide helps you score your highest in a thermodynamics course by offering easily understood, plain-English explanations of how energy is used in things like automobiles, airplanes, air conditioners, and electric power plants. Thermodynamics 101 take a look at some examples of both natural and man-made thermodynamic systems and get a handle on how energy can be used to perform work Turn up the heat discover how to use the first and second laws of thermodynamics to determine (and improve upon) the efficiency of machines Oh, behave get the 411 on how gases behave and relate to one another in different situations, from ideal-gas laws to real gases Burn with desire find out everything you need to know about conserving mass and energy in combustion processes Open the book and find: The laws of thermodynamics Important properties and their relationships The lowdown on solids, liquids, and gases How work and heat go handin hand The cycles that power thermodynamic processes Chemical mixtures and reactions Ten pioneers in thermodynamics Real-world applications of thermodynamic laws and concepts Learn to: Master the concepts and principles of thermodynamics Develop the problem-solving skills used by professional engineers Ace your thermodynamics course, Take some heat off the complexity of thermodynamics Does the mere thought of thermodynamics make you sweat?

Seller feedback (11,788)
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis package of books came quickly and was packed well enough to prevent all but the worst handling conditions. The books themselves were in nearly perfect condition and the box/sleeve was only slightly worn -- just as described in the listing. Was really happy with this order and the price was fantastic for such a great starter set of Hardy Boys. Awesome!
- 2***l (398)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI buy used blu ray movies almost exclusively. When a great title comes to me, at a great price, responsibly shipped in bubblewrap, I know the seller's smart, and responsible, and their efforts are worthy of our business. A++, all around..! Thanks, Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina..! Let's do this again..! 👋😁👌
- i***l (1348)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasefrom reading his feedback, i see this seller always UNDER-rates the condition of his books. they are usually in BETTER condition than listed. he also ships fast. so one can be confident that the condition of a book from this seller will be AT LEAST as good as described, usually BETTER, and shipped promptly. the book i just received is in EXCELLENT condition, but was only listed as "acceptable". wish all book sellers were as honest as this one. won't hesitate to buy from him again!Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook (#235898226302)
