5.0 out of 5 stars A cult book! Nov 24 2005
By Hiram Gomez Pardo - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As you must know J.P.Holman is the same author who wrote the most complete and assertive text of Heat transfer ever published. And according this reference, this book has been made according the same context, through an articulated process of thinking clarity and persuasive style, Holman deciphers step by step the facets of this very interesting discipline, so fundamental in Engineering.

As a matter of fact you may consider this book is a fabulous account of bith courses of Thermodynamics, and includes a wide revision of the First and Second Law of Thermodynamics as well as the Gibbs Equation, Statistical Thermodynamics and an impressive chapter dedicated to power and refrigeration cycles.

If you consider, besides the inclusion of valuable charts in the Appendix, it will be nothing easy to find another text that accept a comparison in the relation cost vs. information value.

My personal collection includes this text, among some others as Saad, Van Wylen and Van Ness, but this is one of my obligated consult references at the moment to refresh the fundamental concepts of this passionate scientific discipline.

Recommended one hundred per cent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for mechanical engineers Feb 2 2001
By Joe De Waele - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Studying thermodynamics is, mainly because of the second law, not an easy task so having a good reference text is obligatory. I believe the author succeeded in translating his experience on the subject in a magnificent way by giving many realistic examples. It is also nice to have worked out examples in Metric units so the reader gets familiar with the order of magnitude of the results in both systems. For mechanical engineers, it is a must. For others interested in the field of thermodynamics, it is good reference although the emphasis clearly lies on the thermodynamical aspects in mechanical engineering.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Examples, No HW Solutions July 12 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I am usisng this book for a course in thermo at NJIT. The book is full of examples. There are two major drawbacks. Firts is the fact that it is overpriced. There is no reason a book published over 10 years ago should cost over $100. The second drawback is that this book does not give answers to selected homework problems.
