Thermodynamics is a cornerstone of engineering and the physical sciences and provides the foundation for understanding the principles governing energy, heat and matter.This textbook presents fundamental concepts and progresses towards advanced applications in modern technology. The book provides an integrated treatment of key topics, including the thermophysical properties of materials, the behaviour of pure substances and the fundamentals of energy transfer. Each chapter takes the reader from basic principles such as force, work and energy through to more advanced concepts including entropy, energy balance equations and their applications in practical engineering systems.This textbook is intended for undergraduate students in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, automobile, energy and related engineering disciplines. It will also benefit teachers, professionals and researchers interested in thermodynamics and thermal sciences
