Thermodynamics: Course IntroductionLecture outlines that apply the first law to aerospace power and propulsion, with explanations of how refrigerators, internal combustion engines and jet engines actually work. Short, focused and heavy on physical intuition.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics
Builds statistical mechanics from probability theory upward, then connects it back to classical thermodynamics. Fitzpatrick explains why the statistical approach is necessary before deriving anything, and adds exercises at the end of each chapter.
