Features: This book is divided into two parts. Part I: Engineering Thermodynamics, which primarily covers: the basic knowledge of the first and second laws of thermodynamics; the thermodynamic properties, state change laws, and analysis of basic thermodynamic processes of common working fluids (ideal gases, steam, and moist air); the basic knowledge and applications of flow of gases and steam in nozzles and diffusers, as well as adiabatic throttling; gas compression and refrigeration cycles. The second part, Heat Transfer, introduces the fundamental laws and basic calculation analysis of steady-state conduction, unsteady-state conduction, convective heat transfer, radiant heat transfer, and steady heat transfer. It also covers the types, heat transfer principles, basic structures of heat exchangers, and performance evaluation and selection calculations for heat exchangers. This textbook highlights the characteristics of higher vocational education, with content that is both systematic and comprehensive, yet targeted and practical. In addition to serving as a teaching material for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning engineering technology and building equipment engineering technology programs in civil engineering vocational and technical colleges, it can also be used as a teaching resource for correspondence courses, adult education, and similar programs. Furthermore, it serves as a reference book for higher technical management and construction personnel working in ventilation, air conditioning, heating, and boiler equipment.
