THERMODYNAMICS
This book differs from other thermodynamics texts in its objective, which
is to provide engineers with the concepts, tools, and experience needed
to solve practical real-world energy problems. The presentation integrates
computer tools (e.g., EES) with thermodynamic concepts to allow engineering students and practicing engineers to solve problems that they would
otherwise not be able to solve. The use of examples, solved and explained in
detail and supported with property diagrams that are drawn to scale, is ubiquitous in this textbook. The examples are not trivial drill problems, but rather
complex and timely real-world problems that are of interest by themselves.
As with the presentation, the solutions to these examples are complete and
do not skip steps. Similarly, the book includes numerous end-of-chapter
problems, both in the book and online. Most of these problems are more
detailed than those found in other thermodynamics textbooks. The supplements include complete solutions to all exercises, software downloads, and
additional content on selected topics.
Sanford Klein is currently the Bascom Ouweneel Professor of Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has been on the
faculty at Wisconsin since 1977. He is the Director of the Solar Energy Laboratory and has been involved in many studies of solar and other types of
energy systems. He is the author or co-author of more than 160 publications relating to the analysis of energy systems. Professor Klein’s current
research interests are in solar energy systems and applied thermodynamics and heat transfer. In addition, he is actively involved in the development of engineering computer tools for both instruction and research. He
is the primary author of a modular simulation program (TRNSYS), a solar
energy system design program (F-CHART), a finite element heat transfer
program (FEHT), and the general engineering equation solving program
(EES). Professor Klein is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME); the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); and the American Solar Energy
Society (ASES).
Gregory Nellis is the Elmer R. and Janet A. Kaiser Professor of Mechanical
Engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He received his M.S.
and Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a member
of the ASHRAE, the ASME, the International Institute of Refrigeration
(IIR), and the Cryogenic Society of America (CSA). Professor Nellis carries out applied research that is related to energy systems with a focus on
refrigeration technology, and he has published more than 40 journal papers.
Professor Nellis’s focus has been on graduate and undergraduate education,
and he has received the Polygon, Pi Tau Sigma, and Woodburn awards for
excellence in teaching as well as the Boom Award for excellence in cryogenic research. He is the co-author of Heat Transfer (2009) with Sanford
Klein.
