Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
By Kevin D. Dahm, Donald P. Visco, Jr.
About your course materials
A brand new book, FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS makes the abstract subject of chemical engineering thermodynamics more accessible to undergraduate students. The subject is presented through a problem-solving inductive (from specific to general) learning approach, written in a conversational and approachable manner.
Suitable for either a one-semester course or two-semester sequence in the subject, this book covers thermodynamics in a complete and mathematically rigorous manner, with an emphasis on solving practical engineering problems. The approach taken stresses problem-solving, and draws from "best practice" engineering teaching strategies.
FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS uses examples to frame the importance of the material. Each topic begins with a motivational example that is investigated in context to that topic. This framing of the material is helpful to all readers, particularly to global learners who require "big picture" insights, and hands-on learners who struggle with abstractions. Each worked example is fully annotated with sketches and comments on the thought process behind the solved problems. Common errors are presented and explained. Extensive margin notes add to the book accessibility as well as presenting opportunities for investigation.

Combination of Inductive and Deductive approaches -- the text expertly combines inductive and deductive teaching, invoking each style where appropriate, enabling students to better grasp concepts and apply them with greater ease.
Simplified writing style and high on rigor -- authors write in a conversational style that is easily understood by students and keeps the material from becoming dry and/or intimidating, but without compromising the mathematical rigor of the material.
Real-world example-based approach, enabling students to better grasp the abstract concepts involved in thermodynamics and instructors to better communicate core thermodynamics concepts that are used to build upon in future engineering courses.
