He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society for Engineering Education, and Sigma Xi. Dr. Dr. He received his B.S. Cengel is the recipient of several outstanding teacher awards, and he has received the ASEE Meriam/Wiley Distinguished Author Award for excellenc
and Ph.D. He is a past recipient of the SAE Ralph R. Boles has received numerous awards and citations for excellence as an engineering educator. Cengel is also the author or coauthor of the widely adopted textbooks Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences, Heat and Mass Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications, and Introduction to Thermodynamics, all published by McGraw-Hill Education. The NCSU ASME student section has consistently recognized him as the outstanding teacher of the year and the faculty member having the most impact on mechanical engineering students. His areas of interest are renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy policies, heat transfer enhancement, and engineering education. in Mechanical Engineering from Nor
This text helps students develop an intuitive understanding by emphasizing the physics and physical arguments. Thermodynamics, An Engineering Approach, eighth edition, covers the basic principles of thermodynamics while presenting a wealth of real-world engineering examples so students get a feel for how thermodynamics is applied in engineering practice. Cengel and Boles explore the various facets of thermodynamics through careful explanations of concepts and use of numerous practical examples and figures, having students develop necessary skills to bridge the gap between knowledge and the confidence to properly apply their knowledge.
Beware of cheap softcover editions - they are too good to be true Jennifer Byrd Beware of cheap softcover editions - they are too good to be true. They are the eight edition in SI units for sale in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bhutqan only and ARE NOT LISTED AS SUCH. If your teacher assigns problems from the 8th edition then the assignments will not match up. Thermodynamics An Engineering Approach (8th Edition)- Softcover. Good book for learning Thermo in engineering. Great book for an introduction to thermodynamics. I used this book for mechanical engineering thermodynamics 1 and 2. It is a really solid book as far as content goes, all of the necessary material is there in my opinion. The outline of the material could use a little work in chapter 7 (Entropy), I had to read it several times to understand when to use certain concepts, equations, and tables. In general, the chapters tend to run very long because this book is filled with 'filler' material. (Material that is related to the subject but not at all necessary to the understandin. I love it as in I love it as in, " yay it came in the mail quickly! two days after class had started, cause I am dreading the class and waited to order it last minute!!" Do I REALLY love it? It's actually rather funny in some sections. I especially like the passive aggressiveness towards America never changing to the metric system. HAHAHA
