Product Description
The worldwide bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach brings further refinement to an approach that emphasizes a physical understanding of the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. The authors offer an engineering textbook that "talks directly to tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, that encourages creative thinking, and is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm". Over 500 new or revised homework problems have been added to this 6/e. The media package for this text is extensive, giving users a large variety of supplemental resources to choose from. A Student Resources DVD is packaged with each new copy of the text and contains the popular Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, Physical Experiments, and an Interactive Thermodynamics tutorial. McGraw-Hill's new Assessment, Review, and Instruction System (ARIS) is available to students and instructors. ARIS is a complete, online tutorial, electronic homework, and course management system designed for greater ease of use than other systems. ARIS offers 1000 algorithmic problems, which will help curb the problem of having homework solutions circulating around campus. ARIS access for instructors is free with the adoption of the text, and students can buy access through the bookstore or from the ARIS website.

Engineering Thermodynamics September 24, 2009
Casey J. Hill
The book is very knowledgeable and gives good information and examples on the components of thermodynamics and all that is involved. The only downsides to this book is that some problems won't give you an answer, so you can't tell if you are doing the work right or not. Also the other downside is that it can be difficult to read at times and grasping the concepts.
 Great Thermo Book September 5, 2009
Robert Kalinowski
This is an amazing textbook. If you read through the entire chapter and work through all the examples given, all while paying attention to it (which really is the key to learning anything from any textbook), you will have absolutely no problems with learning the material and the problems given in the back of the book will be a breeze. Reading this textbook has helped me much more than going to the actual lectures. My only grievance against it is that there aren't solutions to all the problems. For the cost of the book they should all be included. Overall this textbook is fantastic.
great college textbook. One of only 2 I really like. May 17, 2009
Ramon Carter (Morgantown, WV)
The 5th and 6th ed are almost identical and both are incredible. We use the 6th ed at WVU. The book is very thorough and and easy read and has examples for every type of scenario you need. It is a pain in the butt in a way because it is so thorough but such is the subject of Thermodynamics. Especially the entropy chapter 7, in this book it's a bit intimidating. You just have to grit your teeth and bear it. There is a LOT of material but it is clear. Almost too many hw examples but you can take your pick and learn quite well. I liked the book so much after I passed thermo this semester, I bought the 5th edition for future use. It even has a great Compressible Flow chapter (17) that is useful for Compressible Aerodynamics. The typos I saw were minor.
Thermo Book Review February 18, 2009
Lauren E. Mckay
This book has great examples; however at times, I find that the equations used within the problems are not detailed enough to understand why they were used.
Best engineering textbook I own. November 14, 2008
Nathan Blanton (Raleigh, NC)
This text is my required for my Thermodynamics class at NCSU. It is by far the best written text book I have for any of my 'generic' engineering classes, like thermo, statics, or whatever. The books for my major (NE) are probably not as straight forward, either.
You could read the text, take some notes, work the problems, and get everything you need for the class. The book is easy to read, explains concepts well, and includes real-world examples in each chapter that apply to the discussed material.
My text came bundled with a perfect bound book of property tables which is required for our tests in class, and also makes it easier to do homework because you don't have to flip to the back of the text or go digging around on the internet.
