Introduction to Engineering Thermodynamics

This is a good introductory text, covering both very theoretical derivations and many practical problems related to real world performance of thermodynamic devices (ICs, VCCs, etc). It provides a reasonably sized group of tables for many common gases and refrigerants as an appendix, in both English and Metric units. Having taken a course from the author using the book, I can say that it presents the material in a way well suited for a 1st and 2nd level thermodynamics course.
