Thermodynamics 1st Edition by Sanford Klein (PDF)

Description

This book differs from other thermodynamics texts in its objective which is to provide engineers with the concepts, tools, and experience needed to solve practical real-world energy problems. The presentation integrates computer tools (e.g., EES) with thermodynamic concepts to allow engineering students and practising engineers to solve problems they would otherwise not be able to solve. The use of examples, solved and explained in detail, and supported with property diagrams that are drawn to scale, is ubiquitous in this textbook. The examples are not trivial, drill problems, but rather complex and timely real world problems that are of interest by themselves. As with the presentation, the solutions to these examples are complete and do not skip steps. Similarly the book includes numerous end of chapter problems, both typeset and online. Most of these problems are more detailed than those found in other thermodynamics textbooks.

⭐This was a great text for me, however I also had the added benefit of having Professor Sanford Klein as my instructor for Thermodynamics. The text focuses HEAVILY on the use of a computer software called Engineering Equation Solver (EES) which Klein developed. Now, if you know how to properly use EES, it is a fantastic tool and the book is incredible. On the other hand, if your professor isn’t very knowledgable in the software, I could easily forsee you having a ton of issues with the text. I wouldn’t recommend this book as a general thermodynamics reference for any engineer, but if you plan to use EES on a regular basis, this text is a must have in your arsenal.TL;DR: If you plan to use EES, this book is perfect. If you plan to use it simply as a thermodynamics reference, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

⭐I took the Thermodynamics class that Mr. Klein taught at UW-Madison. This is the first edition of the book and also it was the first time he was using it for a class.Overall the book has a practical solved example problems, all of which are solved in EES, which is great. The downside is that there aren’t enough examples. The problems you would like to solve/learn how to do are are at the end of the chapters and these are neither solved nor have a final answer written under them.I wouldn’t recommend this book if you were trying to learn the material for the first time, but if you did want learn extensively about the functionality of EES(which the author created) this is a good book. If there was a solution manual out there(which there isn’t, and is available only to instructors) I would say this is a great book. In fact, I’m looking for a good thermodynamics textbook containing EES problems(and the solutions!) right now.

⭐This book is indeed in a very good condition as expected.

⭐Great reference and complete examples in EES, extremely useful thermodynamic reference

⭐Great book but more dry than the Sahara…

⭐Exactly what I needed and at a fair price. Thank you.

⭐Clear Explanations, good examples and lots of practice questions for different degrees of knowledge. Its an excellent book to have for anyone interested in thermodynamics and energy systems

⭐Great book, great price, and a ton of examples. It came promptly and was in tip top shape.

⭐The examples can be programmed in other tools or languages than EES. I use there Matlab and Python for programming

⭐Book in perfect conditions, good price.
