Synopsis
What if there were no constraints on the use of photographs and graphics; if books could show objects dynamically to illustrate their multi-dimensional characteristics; and if new and revised material could be added at frequent intervals in response to direct feedback from users? Welcome to ThermoNet! Combining a concise text and Web component, ThermoNet not only covers standard thermodynamics topics but also enhances learning through interactive animations, tutorials, exercises, and problems.
An integrated learning package that brings thermodynamics to life: - Developed by engineering educators with partial support from the National Science Foundation.
- Incorporates a Web-based resource where words are used to support visual representations.
- Utilizes graphics-rich environments to help readers gain a strong conceptual understanding of the material.
- Includes an interactive presentation of governing equations that clearly shows the physics underlying each term.
- Focuses the reader's attention on the fundamental principles and motivates them to master the concepts.
