Thermodynamics For Dummies tracks to a typical thermodynamics course offered at the undergraduate level and assists readers in understanding the fundamental concepts of the subject and helps to develop problem-solving skills through practice in solving energy-related problems. Specific coverage includes:
* General balance principle (open systems, closed systems, rate balances, increment balances)
* Mass balances (specific volume, system mass, mass-flow rate)
* Zeroth law (thermodynamic equilibrium and temperature)
* First-law balances (internal energy, enthalpy)
* Second-law balances (availability, entropy)
* Cycles (Rankine, Brayton, vapor-compression)
* Non-reacting mixtures of ideal gases
* Reacting mixtures (mass balances, energy balances, heating values, standardized enthalpy)
* General balance principle (open systems, closed systems, rate balances, increment balances)
* Mass balances (specific volume, system mass, mass-flow rate)
* Zeroth law (thermodynamic equilibrium and temperature)
* First-law balances (internal energy, enthalpy)
* Second-law balances (availability, entropy)
* Cycles (Rankine, Brayton, vapor-compression)
* Non-reacting mixtures of ideal gases
* Reacting mixtures (mass balances, energy balances, heating values, standardized enthalpy)
