Ganesan V Thermodynamics Basic and Applied 2018

Textbook in PDF format

There are many books in the market on the subject Thermodynamics. The logical question will be why another one? The main reason for bringing this book is to disseminate the knowledge that I have gained over past 50 years while teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students at IIT Madras. Further, I felt that the available books that I have consulted do not cover the syllabi effectively; and hence, this book.
