Classical thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the relationships between heat and other forms of energy. It is a fundamental science that has applications in many fields, including chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and materials science.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of classical thermodynamics of fluid systems. It is written for students and researchers in these fields who want to learn about the principles and applications of thermodynamics.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic principles of thermodynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics, the concept of entropy, and the phase behavior of fluids. The second part covers applications of thermodynamics to fluid systems, including the design of heat engines, refrigeration systems, and chemical reactors.
