Book Review - By: agelos tsinas, 02 Oct 2003 
I have used the book as a university textbook. Indeed it is well written, my reservation is that it devotes too little spacein heat exchangers, with no cover of the NTU methods.
On the contrary Power cycles & jet engine are well covered.
The Best Reference on Engineering Thermodynamics Available - By: , 09 Oct 2002 
This outstanding paperback has firmly established itself as the standard course textbook for most Thermodynamic degree modules. It covers all main topics required on modern engineering courses with well-written text & wonderfully illustrated diagrams & examples. This book is an essential investment towards a high-class engineering degree.
Excelent for a 2nd or 3rd year engineering student - By: , 20 May 2001 Engineering Thermodynamics work & heat transfer is a concise, extremely well laid out text. The first section reviews the basics of thermodynamics, The second section examines the theory for fluidsin engineering applications, such as combustion, power cycles & properties of mixed fluids. Section three studies the transfer of work from fluids,in plant like compressors, reciprocating internal combustion engines & jet propulsion, Finally the fourth section covers various forms of heat transfer, conduction, convection, & radiation. The content makes it an Ideal basis for a second or third year thermodynamics course as part of an engineering degree. Also it is not the kind of book you will need for one course & never use again. I have found it indispensible for three of my engineering degree couses already,in thermodynamics, internal combustion engines & Heat tranfer.
