Synopses & Reviews
The worldwide bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach brings further refinement to an approach that emphasizes a physical understanding of the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. The authors offer an engineering textbook that "talks directly to tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, that encourages creative thinking, and is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm". Over 500 new or revised homework problems have been added to this 6/e.
The media package for this text is extensive, giving users a large variety of supplemental resources to choose from. A Student Resources DVD is packaged with each new copy of the text and contains the popular Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, Physical Experiments, and an Interactive Thermodynamics tutorial. McGraw-Hill's new Assessment, Review, and Instruction System (ARIS) is available to students and instructors. ARIS is a complete, online tutorial, electronic homework, and course management system designed for greater ease of use than many other systems available. McGraw Hill has provided a solution to answers to homework problems circulating around campus by providing ARIS. This is an algorithmic problem generator, which allows you to generate your own problems
