Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics
Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics, written by Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro, Daisie D. Boettner, and Margaret B. Bailey, is a comprehensive textbook designed for students studying thermodynamics in the field of engineering. The book covers a range of topics, including energy, work, heat transfer, and thermodynamic cycles.
Michael J. Moran, the lead author of the book, was a professor emeritus of mechanical engineering at Ohio State University. He was also a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a recipient of numerous awards for his contributions to engineering education. Howard N. Shapiro, another author of the book, was a professor emeritus at Iowa State University and a fellow of ASME and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Daisie D. Boettner and Margaret B. Bailey are also experienced professors in the field of mechanical engineering.
The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of thermodynamics, such as temperature, pressure, and energy. It then covers the first law of thermodynamics, which relates to energy conservation, and the second law of thermodynamics, which deals with the direction of energy flow. The book also discusses thermodynamic properties and their relationships, as well as applications of thermodynamics to various engineering systems. Throughout the book, the authors provide numerous examples, exercises, and case studies to help students apply their knowledge of thermodynamics to real-world problems.
