Essentials of Metallurgical Thermodynamics

Download or read book Essentials of Metallurgical Thermodynamics written by R.H. Tupkary and published by KHANNA PUBLISHING HOUSE. This book was released on with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermodynamics is the very basic science to appreciate all engineering disciplines, more particularly the chemical, metallurgical and mechanical engineering in terms of the efficiencies in various related operations that is why metallurgical thermodynamics has been developed specifically to understand the metallurgical engineering processes and their energy efficiencies. Any change is driven by the potential driving it. Thermodynamics is the tool to appreciate that potential and to assess the related energy efficiency. Hence thermodynamics is the basic tool that helps to assess finally the economics of any metallurgical process. The more one understands it the better. The present book attempts to explain the very basic thermodynamic concepts underlying metallurgical engineering operations and therefore the related economics.
