The book’s unique characteristic is the fact that every entry is a real-world example, so instead of the author listing errors that language learners are expected to make, the mistakes that are actually being made in engineering papers are addressed and directly resolved. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781498739627 Print ISBN: 978-1-4987-3962-7 November 2015, 5-1/4 x 7-3/4, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $39.95 / £25.99

Eng Choon Leong, Carmel Lee-Hsia Heah, and Kenneth Keng Wee Ong

University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

This book offers a unique way of teaching and thinking about basic thermodynamics that helps students overcome common conceptual problems. It delivers a brilliantly conceived introduction to thermodynamics at the molecular level, presenting the core laws with clear explanations. The text covers key concepts such as entropy, energy transfer, heat exchange, work, enthalpy, free energy, irreversible and reversible processes, chemical equilibrium, and phase transitions in the molecular world, employing simple but well-chosen examples to supply insight into the molecular events underlying the thermodynamic macroscopic description.

For students embarking on their first research project, sieving through the vast amount of information on the Internet can be a daunting and time consuming task. Research projects require not just an understanding of the research methodology, but also complementary skills including information search, technical writing, oral presentation, and software knowledge. This book is written especially for students who need a quick and concise handbook to support them in conducting research so that they can devote most of their time to the research itself.

Commonly Asked Questions in Thermodynamics

Introduction to Electrochemical Science and Engineering

Marc Assael, Anthony R. H. Goodwin, Michael Stamatoudis, William A. Wakeham, and Stefan Will

Serguei N. Lvov

Every scientist and engineer encounters problems that may be solved at least in part using the principles of thermodynamics. The importance of thermodynamics is so fundamental to life that practitioners and researchers in a range of fields need a fairly detailed understanding of this core discipline. This clearly written, easy-to-follow guide allows even nonscientists considering the use of alternative fuel sources to achieve a solid grounding in thermodynamics. The authors cover topics spanning from energy sources to the environment and climate change.

This book ensures a fundamental knowledge of the core concepts of electrochemical science and engineering, such as electrochemical cells, electrolytic conductivity, electrode potential, and current-potential relations related to a variety of electrochemical systems. It develops the initial skills needed to understand an electrochemical experiment and successfully evaluate experimental data without visiting a laboratory, providing more than 360 conceptual and numerical problems distributed over nine quizzes and nine videobased assignments, as well as a number of illustrative case studies related to novel electrochemical energy conversion systems.

Many of the problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. But if characterized properly, even such randomness and the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. This book provides students with a fundamental understanding of random phenomena and a working knowledge of how to model and analyze such phenomena. It explains how to use probability and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in engineering problems. Basing his approach on the principle of theoretical foundations before application, Dr. Ogunnaike presents a classroom-tested course of study for understanding, characterizing, modeling, and quantifying randomly varying phenomena. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781420044973 Print ISBN: 978-1-4200-4497-3 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4200-4498-0 September 2009, 6-1/4 x 9-1/4, 1064 pp.
