Thermodynamics Applied to Heat Engines (6th Edition)

Thermodynamics Applied to Heat Engines (Sixth Edition) By E.H. Lewitt

A classic, comprehensive text first published in the early 1930s and carried through six editions, part of Pitman's Engineering Degree Series and long intended to cover the thermodynamics syllabuses of the B.Sc. (Eng.), Inst.C.E., and I.Mech.E. examinations. Written by E.H. Lewitt, a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College of Science and Technology, the book moves systematically from the fundamental behavior of gases through to the machines that put thermodynamic theory to practical use — heat engines, steam plant, and gas power cycles — reflecting the rigorous, examination-oriented style typical of British engineering degree texts of its era.

Topics commonly covered include:

• The heating and expansion of gases

• The laws of perfect gases

• Air cycles

• Formation and properties of steam

• Steam engines

• Steam nozzles

• Steam turbines

• Internal combustion engines

• Air compressors

• Heat transfer fundamentals

Key features:

• Long publication history spanning over three decades and six editions

• Written specifically to match the syllabuses of major British engineering degree and professional examinations

• Extensive illustrations, including detailed folding plates in earlier editions

• Comprehensive scope at over 800 pages with hundreds of supporting figures

• Authored by a lecturer with direct academic grounding at Imperial College

Perfect for:

• Mechanical engineering students studying classical thermodynamics and heat engines

• Students preparing for B.Sc. (Eng.), I.Mech.E., or equivalent professional examinations

• Anyone wanting a rigorous, historically grounded treatment of heat engine thermodynamics

• Collectors and engineers interested in classic mid-20th-century engineering texts
