Product Description
The worldwide bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach brings further refinement to an approach that emphasizes a physical understanding of the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. The authors offer an engineering textbook that "talks directly to tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, that encourages creative thinking, and is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm". Over 500 new or revised homework problems have been added to this 6/e. The media package for this text is extensive, giving users a large variety of supplemental resources to choose from. A Student Resources DVD is packaged with each new copy of the text and contains the popular Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software, Physical Experiments, and an Interactive Thermodynamics tutorial. McGraw-Hill's new Assessment, Review, and Instruction System (ARIS) is available to students and instructors. ARIS is a complete, online tutorial, electronic homework, and course management system designed for greater ease of use than other systems. ARIS offers 1000 algorithmic problems, which will help curb the problem of having homework solutions circulating around campus. ARIS access for instructors is free with the adoption of the text, and students can buy access through the bookstore or from the ARIS website.

 Nice February 29, 2008

The text is easy to read, well-written, and not that boring, which are all essential to keep a reader interested and attentive. The examples are pretty good. The only down side to this book is that you have to constantly flip back to the appendix to look up material property values in order to solve problems, but other than that, it's a book I recommend.
Excellent Quality. I highly recommend this buyer. A+++ February 22, 2008

ME student for Thermo I December 16, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I used the book for Thermo I and was fairly pleased. The book contains many examples as well as many problems to work out. I had a professor that tested mainly on class notes, but the book still made a nice companion to the course. My only complaint with the text is that, in many chapters, the example problems within the chapter are not of the same degree of difficulty as some of the problems at the end of the chapter.
for a textbook, its great December 10, 2007

This book is very similar to the previous editions, however the property tables in the back are updated and the previous editions were very good. I too am a college student, I actually had Dr. Boles for Thermo. The book is clear, explains difficult material well, takes advantage of ees, and the problems are generally realistic. The characteristic that sets this book apart is the amount of real world examples instead of so much theoretical BS that comes with many other books.
