Schaum's Outline of Thermodynamics for Engineers, Third Edition
by: Merle C. Potter, PhD, Craig W. Somerton, PhD
Abstract: More than 40 million students have trusted Schaum's to help them succeed in the classroom and on exams. Schaum's is the key to faster learning and higher grades in every subject. Each Outline presents all the essential course information in an easy-to-follow, topic-by-topic format. You also get hundreds of examples, solved problems, and practice exercises to test your skills. This Schaum's Outline gives you 500 fully solved problems, four sample tests for the engineering qualifying exam, and support for all the major textbooks for thermodynamics courses.
