Engineering Hermodynamics / / Charles Edward Lucke.
Discusses certain principles of thermodynamics and describes their usefulness to engineers. It begins with the general principles of work and power with a special focus on compressors and piston engines, then discusses the relation between heat and matter, especially in heating by combustion, and en...
