Dynamic Thermodynamics

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.

good text

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.
