Outstanding

I used this as my course book over 40 years ago. I still have it, even though I have not worked in engineering since I graduated.It is one of my good memories . I remember it as one of the best written books I ever used. It was outstanding. It is still used in many universities in the UK and I once met a lecturer in Canada who recommended it.

I was lucky enough to be taught by the late Alan McConkey. He was as good as the book.

Some books are published in new editions even after the death of the original author(s)(E.G. Frank Wood's Accounting). "Eastop McConkey" deserves to go on. (Hopefully Tom Eastop is still alive!).

Saved My Life!

Good grief Thermodynamics is difficult. I did an Eletrical and Electronic Engineering degree but in my first year had to study general engineering. Whilst I didn't want to do anything much other than electronics, the first year was OK with the exception of thermodynamics.

Mechanical engineering was OK, manufacturing engineering was OK, materials was OK, thermodynamics I just could not understand no matter what the lecturers threw at me.

In despair before the exam I got hold of this book and it was a lifesaver. It describes concepts from the basics in an incredibly easy way to follow and will take anyone from no knowledge to a decent enough level without too much effort.

Not sure how much value it would be to people who are good at thermodynamics - I scraped through the exam and have never thought of it again!

Applied Therodymanics by Eastop and McConkey

I was taught this subject some 30 years ago. Although I have now obtained my PhD(also many years ago)I still refer to this book. As stated by other reviewers it is probably one of the best written books on thermodynamics - a must all students in thermodynamics.

Absolutely essential reading

This book is probably one of the best engineering books I have ever come across. The author takes his time to explain each concept, before engaging the reader in a series of increasingly complex problems, this is an absolute must for any engineering student who wishes to master thermodynamics

Very useful

As an engineering student, i have found this book to be invaluable. It contains plenty of worked examples and clear, concise explanations. A must buy for anyone studying thermodynamics.
