THERMODYNAMICS OF ONE COMPONENT SYSTEM

---

Thermodynamics is an old science and much has been written about it. The fascination of the subject to the scientist is that with a minimum of postulates and principles a multitude of problems may be attacked through clear thinking. Although the background of thermodynamics comes from the heart of science, its use penetrates deeply into the field of engineering. This meeting ground furnishes an excellent medium for accomplishing the transition from the earlier science training of the student to engineering science — the guantitative treatment of engineering problems through the mathematical use of scientific information and principles. The objective of this textbook is to help the student in his transit from science studies to engineering, from idealized thermodynamics to the combination of thermodynamics with mechanics needed for dealing with everyday problems of the engineer. Because this transition often presents difficulties when attempted too precipitately, the authors have limited the scope of the subject matter. When logical thinking is involved, a clear understanding of a limited field is more valuable than a superficial acguaintance over a broader front. However, over a period of years, the approach followed here has been found to serve asa basis for attack upon problems of some complexity. Because of the great extent of the literature on thermodynamics, the authors are indebted to the many writers who have come before them. In addition, much is owed to the students who have used the material, who have shown interest in it, and who have made evident the need for specific improvements in the presentation.
