Computational Mechanical Engineering: Thermodynamics: Hands-On Thermodynamic Analysis & Simulation with Python: A Computational Mechanical Engineering ... Practicing Engineers, and Energy Researchers

Step beyond rote memorization and compute thermodynamic phenomena in real time. Every one of the 33 chapters opens with crystal-clear theory, then launches into a fully documented Python walkthrough—giving you the power to model, visualize, and verify the most important equations in mechanical engineering:Ideal Gas Law, Van der Waals, Compressibility FactorFirst-Law energy balances for closed and open systemsEntropy via the Clausius Inequality, T-dS relations, Maxwell relationsPower-cycle efficiencies (Carnot, Otto, Diesel, Brayton, Rankine)Heat-pump & refrigeration COP, exergy analysisPhase-change tools—Clapeyron, Clausius–Clapeyron, Antoine, RaoultMixture & psychrometric calculations including Dalton’s Law and humidity ratioWhether you are optimizing a gas turbine, simulating a refrigeration loop, or just crushing your next exam, this volume puts theory and code side-by-side so that concepts stick—and scale.
