Description
Thermodynamics Applied to Heat Engines by E. H. Lewitt is a mechanical engineering textbook covering the principles of thermodynamics as they apply to heat engines. It examines the heating and expansion of gases, the laws governing perfect gases, air cycles, steam nozzles and steam turbines.
The book also covers the analysis and mechanics of major engine types, including steam engines, internal combustion engines and steam turbines. Written for engineering students, it was designed to correspond with the syllabuses for the B.Sc. (Eng.) degree and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
A useful reference for students and engineers studying thermodynamics, heat engines and mechanical engineering, particularly those working with the classical theory and operation of thermal machinery.
