Features: This book is a comprehensive thermodynamic technical theoretical foundation composed of two basic parts: Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. It primarily studies the effective utilization of thermal energy and the fundamental laws of related thermal phenomena. The book is divided into two parts: Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. The Engineering Thermodynamics part mainly introduces the basic concepts and fundamental laws of engineering thermodynamics, the thermal physical properties of common working fluids, basic thermodynamic processes, analysis of typical thermodynamic cycles, and methods to improve cycle efficiency. The Heat Transfer part mainly introduces the fundamental laws, solution methods, and technical measures for controlling (enhancing or weakening) heat transfer processes, as well as the thermal calculation methods of heat exchangers. Basic thermal engineering knowledge is an important component of the engineering qualities of professionals in various engineering fields. To meet the needs of talent cultivation in the 21st century, this book has selected and refined the content of Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, aiming to combine traditional classic content with the development of modern science and technology. It also includes a sufficient number of examples, reflection questions, and exercises closely related to engineering practice, which are beneficial for improving students' engineering perspective and the ability to apply theory to practical problem-solving. This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate courses in non-energy and power-related disciplines on Basic Thermal Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Engineering Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, with 48–64 academic hours. It can also be used as a reference for relevant engineering technicians.
