The field's leading textbook for more than three decades, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics offers a comprehensive introduction to essential principles and applications in the context of engineering. Now in its Tenth Edition, this book retains its characteristic rigor and systematic approach to thermodynamics with enhanced pedagogical features that aid in student comprehension. Detailed appendices provide instant reference; chapter summaries review terminology, equations, and key concepts; and updated data and graphics increase student engagement while enhancing understanding.
Covering classical thermodynamics with a focus on practical applications, this book provides a basic foundational skillset applicable across a variety of engineering fields. Worked examples demonstrate the appropriate use of new formulas, while clarifying the proper approach to generalized problems of a relevant nature. Going beyond the usual guidance in the basics of the field, this book is designed as comprehensive preparation for more advanced study in students' engineering field of choice.
The presentation is deliberately directed to students. New concepts and definitions are presented in the context where they are first relevant in a natural progression. The introduction has been reorganized with a very short introduction followed by the first thermodynamic properties to be defined (Chapter 1) which are those that can be readily measured: pressure, specific volume, and temperature.
In Chapter 2, tables of thermodynamic properties are introduced, but only in regard to these measurable properties. Internal energy and enthalpy are introduced in connection with the energy equation and the first law, entropy with the second law, and the Helmholtz and Gibbs functions in the chapter on thermodynamic relations.
Many real world realistic examples and contemporary topics have been included in the book to assist the student in gaining an understanding of thermodynamics, and the problems at the end of each chapter have been carefully sequenced to correlate with the subject matter, and are grouped and identified as such.
The early chapters in particular contain a large number of examples, illustrations and problems, and throughout the book, chapter-end summaries are included, followed by a set of concept/study problems that should be of benefit to the students.

The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to understand the working principles of thermal engines and heat systems and to solve design and performance problems related to them. He will be able to demonstrate a solid and operational knowledge of principles of thermodynamics in the form of balance equetions, including availability analysis, and of the basic mechanisms of heat transfer (conduction, radiation, convection).
L'esame consiste nello svolgimento scritto di uno o pi problemi assegnati sul momento, seguito da un orale in cui vengono discussi lo scritto e le esercitazioni assegnate durante l'anno.
Durante lo scritto possibile consultare appunti, libri e dispense, e usare una calcolatrice, ma non consentito l'uso del personal computer.
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology.The student must demonstrate the ability to solve, with critical awareness, design and operation problems of thermal systems analogous to the ones introduced in classes.
