4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 29 Dec 2001

By George Fullard - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Theory and Problems of Engineering Thermodynamics (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for actually trying to understand this difficult subject. Firstly its not bogged down with obsolete American units, though it does cover enough examples for anyone who really wants to go that way. Secondly there is a wealth of tables and properties in the index, which alone makes this book worth the money as a reference tool,(and all in simple SI units).Third, there seems to have been a determined effort at getting the message across. The one shortcoming I have found is the lack of a list of symbols/abbreviations used throughout the book (hence the lack of the fifth star rating), though they thankfully are pretty standard. My tip - if you read this very worthwhile book, jot down the symbols as they crop up then you won't waste any time having to track them down again. These comments do not apply to the identical version that comes with a software supplement (I tried it but couldnt be bothered to get up to speed with the mathcad its written with).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review, 20 Aug 2005

By Bryant Delacruz "b2thed" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Engineering Thermodynamics (Schaum's Interactive Outline) (Paperback)

Good book for review. I'm using it to refresh for the PE exam. It sure beats the lengthy text book i used. Very good examples of systems and get to the point quickly. I have Schaum's outline in Control systems, heat transfer, physics among others and this one presents the material the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Denis' review, 4 July 2011

By Denis Z Leach - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Engineering Thermodynamics (Schaum's Interactive Outline) (Paperback)

I have used Schaum books in the past with great success. This book lives up to my expectations. Thermodynamics can be very difficult to understand unless it is put into the correct context. This book, for me, approaches thermodynamics in a very logical and easy to understand manner. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is having difficulty gaining an understanding on the subject.
