Thermodynamics
Lecture notes on Thermodynamics, A course for engineers, By Hasan Maridi, 2018.
The science of thermodynamics studies the relationship between heat and other forms of energy such as mechanical and chemical energy, and others. Thermodynamics played a pivotal and essential role in the invention of the steam machine, the gasoline engine, and ways to increase their efficiency, the invention of dry batteries, and the generation of electricity from coal and gas stations and nuclear reactors. Therefore, the course of thermodynamics is a basic course in all departments of the faculties of science and engineering. This science is considered an important branch of the many branches of physics. Therefore, we made a great effort and time in drafting a short lecture note on thermodynamics for our students in the various engineering departments. It contains enough solved problems for each sub-topic or partial concept, as well as unsolved problems and exercises in each topic so that students can think about and solve them. It includes more than 65 illustrations and nearly 60 solved problems, covering all parts of the course. The course information and questions were collected from several references, and you can find them on the last page of the book.
