Thermodynamics - Courses, Methods and Intensive Training

Thermodynamics is an essential pillar of physics and engineering sciences. This book offers a clear, step-by-step presentation, combining theoretical foundations, a rigorous method and numerous corrected exercises. Intended for undergraduates, preparatory classes and engineering students, it covers the fundamental concepts of perfect gases, thermodynamic transformations, the first and second principles, entropy, motor cycles and thermal machines.The first part includes step-by-step exercises to consolidate concepts, while the second offers more in-depth problems inspired by exams and competitions, providing comprehensive practice. The step-by-step solutions are designed to reinforce autonomy, physical understanding and precise reasoning.Accessible and well-structured, this book is a reliable guide to long-term mastery of thermodynamics and effective preparation for exams and competitions.
