Abstract

This chapter provides a concise description of the basic concepts and theories underlying classical thermodynamics and heat transfer. Different approaches exist in presenting the subject of thermodynamics. Most engineering textbooks first introduce temperature, then discuss energy, work, and heat, and define entropy afterward. An overview of classical thermodynamics is provided that is somewhat beyond typical undergraduate textbooks. The basic phenomena and governing equations in energy, mass, and momentum transfer are subsequently presented in a self-consistent manner without invoking microscopic theories.
