The book delves into the comprehensive realm of technical thermodynamics, encompassing classical areas of study. The first part introduces fundamental equations for energy conversion and idealized fluids, providing a solid foundation. The second part explores the complexities of real fluids, particularly their ability to undergo phase changes, such as melting or freezing. Additionally, thermodynamic mixtures of fluids, such as humid air and gas mixtures, are considered. In the final section, combustion processes and chemical reactions are presented, achieving thermodynamic balance. Each chapter includes examples and exercises to enhance theoretical understanding, with a significant revision in the topic of thermodynamic state diagrams. New refrigerants' state diagrams have been added, along with a comprehensive formulary. The section on chemically reacting systems has been expanded and meticulously revised, ensuring a thorough grasp of the subject matter. To reinforce comprehension, tasks and examples have been incorporated into the basic chapters, fostering a deeper grasp of technical thermodynamics. This book is specifically designed for students pursuing mechanical engineering and professional engineers seeking to expand their knowledge in this field.
