Inhaltsangabe

Do you stare at a problem, unsure which property table to open?

Have you lost marks because a temperature never became an absolute value?

Do you know the method, then freeze when the steps must follow?

Thermodynamics is rarely hard because its equations are hard. It is hard because the reasoning between them — why this boundary, why that assumption, why this table and not the other — is usually left out. This handbook puts that reasoning back on the page. It works from first principles to finished answers in full, so you see the thinking a lecture leaves silent.

Every chapter opens by telling you what you will be able to do, develops the theory from stated assumptions, and then shows the work in full — the intermediate step a textbook usually skips is the one printed here. Worked examples carry their units line by line. Practice problems come with answers you can check yourself, and each chapter closes with the relations it introduced gathered in one place, so revision becomes recall rather than rereading. The coverage runs from the first law through entropy and exergy to gas power cycles, steam plants, refrigeration and moist air, and it suits a first course, a retake, or a refresher taken alongside a job.

  • Choose a system boundary with confidence before writing anything down.
  • Enter property tables without hesitating over which one applies.
  • Carry units through every line as an error check.
  • Build the first and second laws from stated assumptions.
  • Work steadily through gas power cycles and steam plants.
  • Read refrigeration and moist-air problems without losing the thread.
  • Apply exergy to locate where useful work is lost.
  • Check an answer for sense before you submit it.


Your term is already running. The examination already has a date on it, and every week the subject is left alone the gap widens between what you can follow in a lecture and what you can produce under time. The reasoning is learnable, but only by practising it deliberately, and that practice takes weeks rather than days.

Open the first chapter today and begin building the habits the examination will ask for.
