About Book:
Engineering Thermodynamics was originally meant to present a clear and simple exposition of thermodynamic principles so as to enable the readers to penetrate its fundamental ideas buried under a haze of abstractness and to appreciate logical development of thermodynamic reasoning. The subject is based on certain empirical statements, which are apparently simple and naïve, but in them are hidden deep concepts which are wide-ranging in application and universal in their appeal and generality. The popularity of the book proves some success of the book in this direction.
