This book illustrates the practical nature of thermodynamics in chemical engineering. It uses a minimum of mathematics with no sacrifice of rigor. It presents the second law in an innovative manner independent of statistical arguments, instead developing it as a natural consequence of physical experience.
Makes Thermo easier to understand if you're an undergrad in Chem Eng...easier, not easy. Romantic to dedicate it to his sweetheart but maybe she would rather have a jeep.

We just used this book in Chem Eng Thermo, and it explains things pretty well. I had Chem Thermo before, and that was mostly theory. The applications (machines, engines, etc) are the big thing in this book. It might help that I had Chem Thermo before. There are lots of good examples all worked out.
great book

Finally, a thermo book you can actually read! Lots of worked examples, diagrams and tables of properties. This is the second book I've used for thermo, and now I think I actually inderstand it.
