Product Description:
Now in a Sixth Edition, Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics maintains its engaging, readable style while presenting a broader range of applications that motivate student understanding of core thermodynamics concepts. This leading text uses many relevant engineering-based situations to help students model and solve problems.

This is a great (and iconic) book on Thermodynamics. As a student in Mechanical Engineering, I am sure that what I have learned from my Thermodynamics class (and this book, by extension) will be useful. Now, to get into the book:
1. The concepts and theory in this book are expressed in simple language that doesn't require a masters degree to understand.
2. There are many examples and are clearly solved without skipping steps, in both metric and English units. I'm not a ... Read More

This is a good undergraduate level book for mechanical engineers (I feel chemical engineers will find this book useless).
I had really good professors for thermodynamics so I might not be the best person to review the book since I understood all what we needed to know. the basic stuff is explained well (1st and 2nd laws, P-v/T-s diagrams, otto/diesel, brayton, rankin, combined cycles, what individual components do, exergy) however, I found some of the topics that a lot of undergraduate ...

Firstly, I'll agree with other reviewers that the book has a very clear style and is very helpful learning how to do thermo calculations.
Most chapters have a few section on concepts and the rest of the chapter is examples. The examples are very clear and after reading through them I was able to do our assigned problems without any problems.
My major issue is with the book's lack of conceptual explanation. It explains concepts in a formulaic fashion. I.e. it gives a formula and explains ... Read More

Out of all the physics and engineering books I have had to read during the past four years, this is by far the best when it comes to breaking down what can end up being difficult concepts to wrap your head around. The book not only breaks each method and theory down into words, they also highlight necessary formulas at the end of the chapter and have extensive examples that they guide you through at different points during each chapter.

This was exactly the book I ordered and it came in a very promptly manner. Unfortunately when it said brand new it did not say 'does not contain CD' this is something they should have mentioned in the descriptions. Other than that the book was completely new and I am happy with the sale it was still 140 dollars cheaper than using the school bookstore.
