About this book

Thermodynamics is another title in the Foundations of Engineering Series. The books present the content using the carefully constructed 'programme approach' made famous by Ken Stroud in Engineering Mathematics. Thermodynamics presents the first two years of undergraduate thermodynamics in a step by step format allowing self-paced study. Numerous worked examples are integrated within each chapter and further unworked questions allow the student to evaluate their grasp of the material and reinforce the key concepts of each chapter.
