Nag P.K. Basic and Applied Thermodynamics

2nd Edition. — Tata McGraw-Hill Education Private Limited, 2010. — 873 p. — ISBN-13 9780070151314.The author feels greatly encouraged at the good response of the book Engineering Thermodynamics. The present book is a further updated and reorganized version, retaining the framework and style of presentation of the earlier book. The last four chapters of the book, viz., Statistical Thermodynamics, Irreversible Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory of Gases and Transport Properties of Gases are of little relevance in undergraduate courses on Thermodynamics. Hence, the last four chapters of the book and also the topics not important for UG courses have been omitted in this edition and three new chapters on Gas Compressors, Internal Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines and Propulsion Systems have been included instead in this edition in conformity with the UG curricula of many colleges in Applied Thermodynamics and also the recommendation of the reviewers. In addition to contributing as a basic course, the book can be used for a further advanced course at a senior undergraduate or graduate level with topics selectively chosen.Temperature
