This comprehensive collection of tasks contains questions from energy and thermal engineering practice as well as from existing exercises and examinations. The solutions are very detailed and thus comprehensible. Since the structure of the book is based on that of the textbook "Fundamentals of Technical Thermodynamics" (ISBN 978-3-658-38909-3, Springer.com), students can work through the contents in depth and check their learning success. In the present edition, extensions and additions have been made for a better understanding of the solution paths. Numerous tables and diagrams are added. The contents Introduction - Thermodynamic basic terms - The first law of thermodynamics - The second law of thermodynamics - Ideal gases - Real gases and vapors - Thermal machines - Cyclic processes - Exergy - Heat transfer - Humid air – Combustion – Chemical thermodynamics – Multiple choice and question answering tasks - Appendix: tables and diagrams The target groups Students of mechanical engineering, energy engineering, process engineering, supply engineering and automotive engineering The author Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Dehli worked in the energy industry for 17 years, including as a department head in a large energy supply company in numerous fields of energy technology. Since 1991 he has been working at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences in the teaching areas of thermodynamics, energy technology, gas technology and combustion technology.

This book provides a succinct overview of recent progress in characterization of heat carriers describing atomic motion in liquids. Unlike solids and gases where heat carriers are typically described by phonons and real atomic particles, the nature of effective heat carriers in liquids is still elusive. The emphasis is on two widely used spectral methods to describe heat carriers: instantaneous normal modes and velocity autocorrelation functions. Various bulk materials properties from a bottom-up perspective using these spectra are presented in detail. This book is an ideal introduction to the field for graduate students and young researchers.

This textbook presents the classical topics of conduction heat transfer and extends the coverage to include chapters on perturbation methods, heat transfer in living tissue, numerical solutions using MATLAB®, and microscale conduction. This makes the book unique among the many published textbooks on conduction heat transfer. Other noteworthy features of the book are: The material is organized to provide students with the tools to model, analyze, and solve a wide range of engineering applications involving conduction heat transfer. Mathematical techniques and numerical solvers are explained in a clear and simplified fashion to be used as instruments in obtaining solutions. The simplicity of one-dimensional conduction is used to drill students in the role of boundary conditions and to explore a variety of physical conditions that are of practical interest. Examples are carefully selected to illustrate the application of principles andconstruction of solutions. Students are trained to follow a systematic problem-solving methodology with emphasis on thought process, logic, reasoning, and verification. Solutions to all examples and end-of-chapter problems follow an orderly problem-solving approach.

This book offers a comprehensive collection of typical tasks from technical thermodynamics. It is ideal for preparing written and oral examinations at university. It contains 180 tasks that are solved in detail. Alternative solution strategies are often shown and discussed. The book is interesting for all engineering students who have to take an exam in thermodynamics. A problem-orientated approach is followed and a systematic method for solving the tasks is developed. Theoretical correlations and thermodynamic fundamentals are solved by means of concrete tasks. In addition to comprehension questions, the book contains numerous typical calculation problems. Here, too, the basics are summarised and solutions respectively solution strategies are discussed. These are conceived to provide students with strategies and tools to solve complex tasks. All these exercises should help to deepen the physical knowledge. The greater the technical competence, the more confidently one can face the exam! At best, the tasks will help you to have fun and enjoy thermodynamics! This book is a perfect complement to my textbook "Technical Thermodynamics for Engineers".
