Physics in the engineering and natural sciences. Vol. 1: Mechanics and thermodynamics. 4. ed.

The fourth edition of Friedhelm Kuypers' classic textbook provides an introduction to mechanics and thermodynamics in the usual vivid manner; new additions include an easy-to-understand overview of the elusive topic of entropy and renewable energies. Each section has been completely revised to better address recurring problems encountered by students. In the problems and solutions section, the medium and difficult problems are introduced with a clear presentation of the physics covered before the actual calculations begin.
