- A major goal of this text is to impress studentswith the practical nature of thermodynamics.
- Reliance on mathematics is minimized, but atno sacrifice of rigor. Topics such as the second law are presentedindependently of statistical arguments, and developed as a naturalconsequence of physical experience.
- An experimental rather than an abstract approach,to the development of the second law shows how this theorycan be used in real situations.
- The "free body diagram" approachto problem solving gives students confidence that this analysistechnique will always be successful.
- Numerous examples show students in detail how the principles of thermodynamics areapplied to real situations.
