Produktbeschreibung
Broader in scope than any other fundamental thermodynamics text, General Thermodynamics contains classroom-tested materials designed to meet the academic requirements of engineering (except for mechanical and chemical engineering) and materials science students in a single course. The first half focuses on classical concepts of thermodynamics, while the latter half explores field-specific applications, including a unique chapter on biothermodynamics. Each chapter contains numerous worked examples taken from different engineering applications, along with illustrations, and an extensive set of exercises that support the material. A complete solutions manual is available to instructors with qualifying course adoptions.

Autorenporträt
Donald R. Olander has an A.B. in chemistry and a B.S. in chemical engineering from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). During the earlier era in the field of nuclear engineering when he was at MIT, Olander wrote his doctoral dissertation on the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels via solvent extraction. centrifuges and included an article in the Scientific American in 1978. Olander's other major contribution to science was a paper entitled "The Large Cake-Cutting Problem," in which he presented a mathematical method for cutting large cakes that insured equal servings for all. It was published in the Journal of Irreproducible Results. In 1999, a collection of papers written for the occasion by his colleagues in the field of nuclear materials, former students, and postdocs was published in a special issue of the Journal of Nuclear Materials in his honor. In 2000, Professor Olander was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering. He will retire in July 2008 after fifty years at the University of California.
