We inhabit a world of fluids, including air (a gas), water (a liquid), steam (vapour) and the numerous natural and synthetic fluids which are essential to modern-day life. Fluid mechanics concerns the way fluids flow in response to imposed stresses. The subject plays a central role in the education of students of mechanical engineering, as well as chemical engineers, aeronautical and aerospace engineers, and civil engineers.

Ce manuel couvre de manière rigoureuse mais progressive toutes les bases de la thermodynamique. Structuré pour soutenir un cours de deux semestres en licence ou en classes préparatoires (L2/L3, MPSI/PCSI/PTSI, MP/PSI/PC), il est destiné à de futur(e)s ingénieur(e)s curieux(ses) de comprendre le pourquoi et le comment des machines qui les entourent et des équations qu'ils ou elles utilisent. 

The only text to cover both thermodynamic and statistical mechanics--allowing students to fully master thermodynamics at the macroscopic level. Presents essential ideas on critical phenomena developed over the last decade in simple, qualitative terms. 

This new edition maintains the simple structure of the first and puts new emphasis on pedagogical considerations. Thermostatistics is incorporated into the text without eclipsing macroscopic thermodynamics, and is integrated into the conceptual framework of physical theory.

This book contains a modern selection of about 200 solved problems and examples arranged in a didactic way for hands-on experience with course work in a standard advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate class in thermodynamics and statistical physics. 

Thermodynamique -Une approche pragmatique- démystifie les principes centraux de cette science fondamentale de l’énergie. L’approche pédagogique ainsi que la profusion d’exemples concrets et d’applications possibles de la discipline facilitent l’intégration des connaissances et favorisent l’acquisition du savoir-faire du futur ingénieur.

Ce livre est une excellente base pour la formation des étudiants en thermodynamique. Il couvre l'ensemble des notions depuis les fondements jusqu'aux applications actuelles (cogénération, frigo solaire, énergies renouvelables, etc.)
