Now in its seventh edition, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics continues to offer a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics, while retaining an engineering perspective. With concise, applications-oriented discussion of topics and self-test problems the text encourages students to monitor their own comprehension. The seventh edition is updated with additional examples, homework problems, and illustrations to increase student understanding. The text lays the groundwork for subsequent studies in fields such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer and statistical thermodynamics, and prepares students to effectively apply thermodynamics in the practice of engineering.

NO LIKE WHAT IS SHOWN!!!
since i got the book, it looks different than the one on the photo. It may have the same chapters but not same length and content. the i realize that the book is RESTRICTED for sale only in INDIA, NAPAL, SER LANKA and BANGLADESH. not worth the money, this book is cheaper on other site.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

NOT FAST SHIP
I ordered this book on September 28th, with an expected delivery on October 5th. The book did not even ship until October 4th, and I still had not received it by October 11th. Sure could have used this book the week it was supposed to be delivered.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
