Thermodynamics
This text was developed for a fundamental first course in thermodynamics for engineers. For a number of reasons it departs from the classical, purely macroscopic approaches to the subject. Today's junior engineering students have remarkable insight into the microscopic world. They know about mole- cules, energy levels, and ionization and have acquired the rudimentary quantum concepts from their basic physics courses, it seems advantageous to capitalize as much as possible on this understanding in teaching thermodynamics. As little as twenty years ago the prime area of application of thermodynamics by engineers was in thermal power systems, but the modern engineer continually encounters new situations in which he must generate the basic theory himself, sometimes from macroscopic considerations and sometimes by application of microscopic theories. Many engineering programs now include courses in quantum mechanics, in which the basic ideas of thermodynamics are derived from statistical considerations (though usually only for special cases).
