When reviewing, or contemplating writing, a textbook on engineering thermodynamics, it
is necessary to ask what does this book offer that is not already available? The author has
taught thermodynamics to mechanical engineering students, at both undergraduate and
post-graduate level, for 25 years and has found that the existing texts cover very
adequately the basic theories of the subject. However, by the final years of a course, and at
post-graduate level, the material which is presented is very much influenced by the
lecturer, and here it is less easy to find one book that covers all the syllabus in the required
manner. This book attempts to answer that need, for the author at least.
