Outstanding - By: Mr. Robert Slack, 18 Jul 2007 
I used this as my course book over 40 years ago. I still have it, even though I have not workedin engineering since I graduated.It is one of my good memories . I remember it as one of the best written books I ever used. It was outstanding. It is still usedin many universitiesin the UK & I once met a lecturerin Canada who recommended it.
I was lucky enough to be taught by the late Alan McConkey. He was as good as the book.
Some books are publishedin new editions even after the death of the original author(s)(E.G. Frank Wood's Accounting). "Eastop McConkey" deserves to go on. (Hopefully Tom Eastop is still alive!).
Saved My Life! - By: Paul Johnson, 16 Jul 2005 Good grief Thermodynamics is difficult. I did an Eletrical & Electronic Engineering degree butin my first year had to study general engineering. Whilst I didn't want to do anything much other than electronics, the first year was OK with the exception of thermodynamics.
Mechanical engineering was OK, manufacturing engineering was OK, materials was OK, thermodynamics I just could not understand no matter what the lecturers threw at me.
In despair before the exam I got hold of this book & it was a lifesaver. It describes concepts from the basicsin an incredibly easy way to follow & will take anyone from no knowledge to a decent enough level without too much effort.
Not sure how much value it would be to people who are good at thermodynamics - I scraped through the exam & have never thought of it again!
Applied Therodymanics by Eastop and McConkey - By: , 17 Jun 2004 I was taught this subject some 30 years ago. Although I have now obtained my PhD(also many years ago)I still refer to this book. As stated by other reviewers it is probably one of the best written books on thermodynamics - a must all studentsin thermodynamics.
Absolutely essential reading - By: turbo-boy@oceanfree.net, 27 Feb 2002 This book is probably one of the best engineering books I have ever come across. The author takes his time to explain each concept, before engaging the readerin a series of increasingly complex problems, this is an absolute must for any engineering student who wishes to master thermodynamics
Very useful - By: , 09 Feb 2001 As an engineering student, i have found this book to be invaluable. It contains plenty of worked examples & clear, concise explanations. A must buy for anyone studying thermodynamics.
