The eighth edition of the bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach moves students toward a clear understanding and firm grasp of the basic principles of thermodynamics. This textbook communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner that encourages creative and imaginative thinking and is read by students with interest and enthusiasm all over the world.

This edition features:
• Effective use of full color to enhance the learning experience of the students.
• An early introduction to the First Law of Thermodynamics establishes a general understanding of energy, mechanisms of energy transfer, and the concept of energy balance, as well as thermo-economics, and conversion efficiency.
• Over 900 new and revised homework problems that further enhance the already extensive and diverse homework problem sets.
• Physical intuition to help students develop a sense of the underlying physical mechanisms and a mastery of solving practical problems that an engineer is likely to face in the real world.
• Renewable Energy, a new chapter, is available via Online Learning Center.

The media package includes:
Text Website to provide additional text support including detailed coverage of application chapters, general text information, useful weblinks, solutions manuals and PowerPoint presentation slides.
