It is a revised and supplemented version of the third edition. The book's features are primarily reflected in: focusing on the basic concepts and fundamental laws of thermodynamics, as well as the properties, processes, and cycles of gases and steam; including illustrative examples, thought-provoking questions, and exercises, along with necessary thermodynamic charts and tables; and adopting the new national legal metrology units throughout the book, with an appropriate introduction to the engineering unit system. This book can serve as a textbook for Engineering Thermodynamics for non-power-related disciplines, and is also available for reference by relevant engineering professionals.
