The well known transport laws of Navier-Stokes and Fourier fail for the simulation of processes on lengthscales in the order of the mean free path of a particle that is when the Knudsen number is not small enough. Thus, the proper...

This textbook gives a thorough treatment of engineering thermodynamics with applications to classical and modern energy conversion devices.Some emphasis lies on the description of irreversible processes, such as friction, heat transfer...
