Book Thermodynamics

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers around the need for a thermodynamics textbook with ample worked examples and problems for practice. The original poster expresses dissatisfaction with "Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics" due to its lack of examples. Recommendations include the Thermodynamics REA book and Schaum's Outlines, which is highlighted as a resource that provides numerous problems and solutions for better understanding and practice in thermodynamics.

I'm using Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics now but I feel like it doesn't contain enough worked out problem. Can anyone recommend a good Thermodynamics book with tons of examples, explanations and problems that I can check my answers too?

Anyone like the Thermodynamics REA book?

Thanks.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
