Features: This book is an extension and continuation of engineering thermodynamics, consisting of 11 chapters. The content focuses on practical engineering theories while also incorporating the latest achievements in thermal engineering technology. Chapters 1 to 4 expand on the fundamental concepts and theories of engineering thermodynamics and extend the study of thermophysical properties of working fluids to real gases and solutions. Chapter 5 synthesizes several methods for analyzing and evaluating thermal systems. Chapter 6 covers the fundamentals of irreversible thermodynamics. Chapters 7 to 9 discuss the application of thermodynamic theories in biological processes, fuel cells, and solar engineering. Chapters 10 and 11 provide a more in-depth discussion of heat conduction and convective heat transfer processes. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students in secondary disciplines such as power machinery and engineering thermophysics, reactor technology and engineering, and energy management and utilization, as well as for postgraduate students in engineering master's programs. It is also suitable for reference by teachers, scientists, and engineering professionals.
