Summary

This text has been very successful in previous editions due to its clear explanations of both process-oriented topics of thermal energy engineering and system-oriented practices. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated, reflecting the impact of micro-computers on engineering, and including a greater emphasis on linear programming.
