Its focus therefore is on applications of thermodynamics, addressing both technical and pragmatic problems in the field. Readers are provided a solid base in thermodynamics theory; however, the text is mostly dedicated to demonstrating how theory is applied to solve real-world problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text's four parts enable readers to easily gain a foundation in basic principles and then learn how to apply them in practice:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart One: Introduction. Sets forth the basic principles of thermodynamics, reviewing such topics as units and dimensions, conservation laws, gas laws, and the second law of thermodynamics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two: Enthalpy Effects.
