Technical thermodynamics. 5. rev. ed.

The forms of energy 'intrinsic energy, enthalpy and heat' are dealt with in detail. The difference between work due to change of volume and technical work is clearly stressed. The problems of equivalence between thermal energy and mechanical energy and the limits of convertibility of the two forms of energy are treated in detail. In the sections dealing with the cycles of thermal power engines and thermal working engines as well as in the section on water vapor and its application in the steam power process only small changes were required. The book contains 80 mathematical examples, 135 figures and diagrams as well as 12 tables with materials data. (orig.)
