An advanced, practical approach to the first and second laws of thermodynamics Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics bridges the gap between engineering applications and the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Going beyond the basic coverage offered by most textbooks, this authoritative treatment delves into the advanced topics of energy and work as they relate to various engineering fields. This practical approach describes real-world applications of thermodynamics concepts, including solar energy, refrigeration, air conditioning, thermofluid design, chemical design, constructal design, and more. This new fourth edition has been updated and expanded to include current developments in energy storage, distributed energy systems, entropy minimization, and industrial applications, linking new technologies in sustainability to fundamental thermodynamics concepts. Worked problems have been added to help students follow the thought processes behind various applications, and additional homework problems give them the opportunity to gauge their knowledge. The growing demand for sustainability and energy efficiency has shined a spotlight on the real-world applications of thermodynamics. This book helps future engineers make the fundamental connections, and develop a clear understanding of this complex subject. * Delve deeper into the engineering applications of thermodynamics * Work problems directly applicable to engineering fields * Integrate thermodynamics concepts into sustainability design and policy * Understand the thermodynamics of emerging energy technologies Condensed introductory chapters allow students to quickly review the fundamentals before diving right into practical applications. Designed expressly for engineering students, this book offers a clear, targeted treatment of thermodynamics topics with detailed discussion and authoritative guidance toward even the most complex concepts. Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics is the definitive modern treatment of energy and work for today's newest engineers.

Figure 13.6 The evolution of the cross-sectional configuration of a stream composed of two liquids, low and high viscosity. In time, the low-viscosity liquid coats all the walls and the high-viscosity liquid migrates toward the center. This tendency of “self-lubrication” is the action of the constructal law of the generation of flow configuration in geophysics (e.g. volcanic discharges, drawn after Ref. 29) and in many biological systems.
Figure 13.7 Elemental area of a river basin viewed from above: seepage with high resistivity (Darcy flow) proceeds vertically and channel flow with low resistivity proceeds horizontally. Rain falls uniformly over the rectangular area . The external shape is such that the flow from the area to the point (sink) encounters reduced global resistance. The generation of configuration is how the area-point flow system assures its persistence in time, its survival.

Figure 13.13 Turbulence, dendritic solidification, electrodiffusion, mud cracks, dust aggregates, stony corals and bacterial colonies owe their configurations to the natural tendency to flow more easily. To achieve this, they combine two flow mechanisms in a particular way. The distance travelled by diffusion increases in time as , and the speed of the diffusion front decreases as . Greater flow access calls for a mechanism that is more effective at long times: convection (streams). Together, the two mechanisms provide greater flow access than one mechanism alone, provided that they are arranged in this order: diffusion, at short time and length scale, woven with convection at larger scales. Nature always chooses this arrangement, and not the opposite.

The theoretical predictions are based on scale analysis, which neglects factors of order 1 and therefore should be accurate in an order-of-magnitude sense. Note, however, that in nearly all cases the constructal theory of flight comes closer than order-of-magnitude agreement with empirical data.

I have assembled in this book the notes prepared for my advanced class in engineering thermodynamics, which is open to students who have had previous contact with the subject. I decided to present this course in book form for the same reasons that I organized my own notes for use in the classroom. Among them is my impression that the teaching of engineering thermodynamics is dominated by an abundance of good introductory treatments differing only in writing style and quality of graphics. For generation after generation, engineering thermodynamics has flowed from one textbook into the next, essentially unchanged. Today, the textbooks describe a seemingly “classical” engineering discipline, that is, a subject void of controversy and references, one in which the step-by-step innovations in substance and teaching method have been long forgotten.
Traveling back in time to rediscover the history of the discipline and looking into the future for new frontiers and challenges are activities abandoned by all but a curious few. This situation presents a tremendous pedagogical opportunity at the graduate level, where the student's determination to enter the research world comes in conflict with the undergraduate view that thermodynamics is boring and dead as a research arena. The few textbooks that qualify for use at the graduate level have done little to alleviate this conflict. On the theoretical side, the approach preferred by these textbooks has been to emphasize the abstract reformulation of classical thermodynamics into a sequence of axioms and corollaries. The pedagogical drawback of overemphasizing the axiomatic approach is that we do not live by axioms alone and the axiomatic reformulation seems to change from one revisionist author to the next. Of course, there is merit in the simplified phrasing and rephrasing of any theory: This is why a comparative presentation of various axiomatic formulations is a component of the present treatment. However, I see additional merit in proceeding to show how the theory can guide us through the ever-expanding maze of contemporary problems. Instead of emphasizing the discussion of equilibrium states and relations among their properties, I see more value in highlighting irreversible processes, especially the kind found in practical physical systems.
With regard to the presentation of thermodynamics at the graduate level, I note a certain tendency to emphasize physics research developments and to deemphasize engineering applications. I am sure that the engineering student—his† sense of self-esteem—has not been well served by the implication that the important and interesting applications are to be found only outside the domain chosen by him for graduate study. If he, like Lazare and Sadi Carnot two centuries earlier, sought to improve his understanding of what limits the “efficiency” of machines, then he finished the course shaking his head wondering about the mechanical engineering relevance of, say, negative absolute temperatures.
These observations served to define my objective in designing the present treatment. My main objective is to demonstrate that thermodynamics is an active and often controversial field of research and encourage the student to invest his creativity in the future growth of the field.
The other considerations that have contributed to defining the objective of the present treatment are hinted at by the title Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics. The focus is being placed on “engineering” thermodynamics, that is, on that segment of thermodynamics that addresses the production of mechanical power and refrigeration in the field of engineering practice. I use the word thermodynamics despite the campaign fought on behalf of thermostatics as the better name for the theory whose subjects are either in equilibrium or, at least, in local equilibrium. I must confess that I feel quite comfortable using the word thermodynamics in the broad sense intended by its creator, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin): This particular combination of the Greek words therme (heat) and dynamis (power) is a most appropriate name‡ for the field that united the “heat” and “work” lines of activity that preceded it (Table 1.2).
