Editorial Review:
A brand-new, thought-provoking edition of the unmatched resource on engineering thermodynamics
Adrian Bejan's Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics established itself as the definitive volume on this challenging subject. Now, his Third Edition builds on the success of its trailblazing predecessors by providing state-of-the-art coverage in a slimmer, more convenient book.
Moving effortlessly among analysis, essay, and graphics, this streamlined edition of Adrian Bejan's powerful presentation will inspire future generations of researchers and students in all areas of engineering, physics, and life sciences. It features:
* An authoritative treatment of the first and second laws of thermodynamics and the constructal law of natural generation of flow configuration, with prominent focus on the history of the discipline and its main ideas
* Complete chapters on single-phase systems, multiphase systems, chemically reactive systems, exergy analysis, thermodynamic optimization, irreversible thermodynamics, and constructal theory
* Applications of thermodynamics to power generation, solar energy, refrigeration, air conditioning, thermofluid design, and constructal design
* The latest theoretical advances made based on the constructal law: atmospheric circulation and earth climate, animal design (flying, running, swimming), hierarchy and geography of human settlements, scaling laws of all river basins, flow fossils and Egyptian pyramids, and science as a constructal flow architecture
* A wealth of problems and worked-out examples
* Brilliant, original illustrations, plus hundreds of classic and contemporary references

A must-read in the field  2006-11-22
This book is truly engaging and many chapters are simply memorable.
Unlike many similarly hefty texts, this new edition of Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics gives a lucid, informative and insightful approach to the laws of thermodynamics and their real-world applications. Moreover, it also reports on the latest advances made based on the author's constructal theory. The text flows smoothly, with excellent illustrations and has been meticulously proofread, a credit to both Dr. Bejan and his editors.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this 3rd edition of Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics; therefore, I can most sincerely recommend it. In summary: a must-read in the field for university students and scientific researchers alike.
Bejan's AET - 3rd Ed. 2006-11-15
Bejan's AET book offers a unique, clear and straightforward exposure to classical thermodynamics. The book neatly dissects the most fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, while covering total flow exergy, restricted dead state and unconstrained equilibrium state, heat transfer, fluid flow and chemical irreversibilities, thermodynamic optimization, irreversibility distribution ratio, lost exergy, EGM, etc, from a fundamental and applied stand point (e.g., power generation, solar power, low temperature refrigeration). Chapter 13 also brings the latest developments in Constructal Theory. I strongly recommend this book to grad and undergrad students interested in advanced, yet accessible, thermodynamics.
About "Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics" by A. Bejan 2006-10-25
« Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics » by A. Bejan is an astonishing construction of classical thermodynamics and of high-level recent developments such as entropy generation minimisation and the constructal theory. This book can be used either by engineering students or by confirmed researchers belonging to a wide range of fields such as thermodynamics of course but also, more generally, physics. The remarkable historical dimension of the book concerning the emergence and the evolution of thermodynamics as a science has to be noticed. By covering the phenomenon of geometry generation in all physics, Bejan's "constructal" contribution to thermodynamics and to science is becoming irreversible!
A must have book for Engineering Thermodynamics 2006-10-24
The third edition of this book provides complete detail of the first and second laws of thermodynamics, including detail perspectives of their historical foundation. It also provides a complete course in advanced engineering thermodynamics in the area of entropy generation minimization, destruction of available work etc., as well as introducing the emerging area of constructal law of configuration generation, a new law of physics. In fact, this book bridges the gap between the old thermodynamics and the new way of thinking (Constructal law) that makes thermodynamics very interesting. Having used this book as a graduate student, I strongly recommend this book. It is a must have book for all engineers in the area of thermal sciences.
New way of thinking Thermodynamics! 2006-10-10
"This is a very new way of thinking thermodynamics! It bridges the "old Thermodynamics" based on the three well-known laws with brand new developments that encompass generation of structure in flow systems for which the "Constructal Law" provides a sound basis. It invites the reader to a new vision, and to challenging new ways of thinking old problems! The real world is out of equilibrium, develops structure and morphs in time. At every chapter the reader is defied to see real problems with an open-mind though by the eyes of the engineer. I strongly recommended it to my students!"
