An undergraduate textbook introducing classical thermodynamics in an engineering perspective as a foundation for later study in the subject itself or in related fields such as materials science, surface phenomena, plasmas, and cryogenics. Provides a good deal of flexibility, especially in the more elementary chapters, to accommodate students from a range of backgrounds. The fifth edition adds a brief introduction to heat transfer modes, drops some of the more advanced material, and includes a disk containing the same information as do the appendices. Earlier editions (no dates noted) were published as Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics by Gordon J. Van Wylen, listed here as the third author. No bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
