Authors:
- Maximizes student understanding of problem solving by creating a single structure to solve all thermodynamic state change problems;
- Presents tables of thermodynamic functions of vaporizable liquids in a unique format that is easy to understand and easy to use;
- Explains the First Law of Thermodynamics as an energy evolution equation making clear that thermodynamics is pedagogically in the same category as dynamics, and is a precursor for heat transfer and fluid mechanics;
- Reinforces concepts covered with end of chapter problems
