Engineering Thermodynamics is a science that deals with energy and its conversion. To solve an unknown problem, in the past, was to simply search an appropriate formula and empirical relation in handbook, put the known values and get the solution. But today’s challenging problems cannot be solved by this method alone. To solve such problems requires basic ideas, concepts and analyses. The text has been presented in lucid manner and self-instructive method so that an average student can understand the subject by even self study.
