THERMODYNAMICS Thermodynamics for Engineers, 2nd Ed. NEW Kaufui Vincent Wong Thermodynamics for Engineers, Second Edition continues to fill both those needs. Paying special attention to the learning process, the author has developed a unique, practical guide to classical thermodynamics. His approach is remarkably cohesive. For example, he develops the same example through his presentation of the first law and both forms of the second law—entropy and exergy. He also unifies his treatments of the conservation of , the creation of entropy, and the destruction of availability by using a balance equation for each, thus emphasizing the commonality between the laws and allowing easier comprehension and use. This Second Edition includes a new chapter on thermodynamic property relations and gives updated, expanded problem sets in every chapter. Accessible, practical, and cohesive, the text builds a solid foundation for advanced engineering studies and practice. It exposes students to the “big picture” of thermodynamics, and its streamlined presentation allows glimpses into important concepts and methods rarely offered by texts at this level. Contents: 1. Concepts, Definitions, and the Laws of Thermodynamics 2. Properties of Pure Substances 3. Mass Conservation and the First Law of Thermodynamics 4. Second Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy 5. Energy (Availability) Analysis 6. Vapor Power Systems 7.Thermodynamic Property Relations 8. Principles of Energy (Heat) Transfer.

About the Author Kaufui Vincent Wong grew up in Malaysia and came to the United States in 1973. As a youngster, he wished to be an engineer because of his passion for mathematics, which was accomplished when he obtained the bachelor’s degree with honors in mechanical engineering at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 1973. He obtained his PhD at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, in 1976. His wish to teach engineering students from all over the world came true when he became a faculty member at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, in 1979. In 2000, he published his first book for engineering students. In 2003, he published his second textbook for graduate engineers. He has authored and coauthored over 160 technical papers. In the past decade, he has broadened his teachings by using mass media, including YouTube. He accomplished his personal goal of visiting all seven in 2001 when he completed his trip to .

Understanding Building Failures, 4th Ed. NEW James Douglas and Bill Ransom Building defects still continue to plague the construction industry. The lessons learned over the last forty years have not been fully applied. Many new or refurbished buildings still leak or crack. Lack of awareness by designers and installers as to the main mechanisms that trigger such failures remains a problem for the industry.Investigating and rectifying building failures form a major part of building surveyors’ bread and butter work. This book provides guidance on this work for typical residential, commercial and industrial buildings – with advice on how to diagnose a wide range of defects with an emphasis on evidence based practice throughout. It considers both modern and older construction methods, together with new and traditional materials. The particular problems of alteration and renovation work are also discussed.The first four chapters provide information and guidance on the methodology for investigating failures – how to prepare for and conduct an investigation into a building defect and subsequently diagnose its cause in a logical manner.This fourth edition has been updated and expanded to cover the latest diagnostic procedures and research. It also includes Appendices and a new Bibliography, and provides an extensive list of books on building pathology and related topics in the UK and North America. It is essential reading for all students and practitioners interested in building and building conservation. Contents: 1. Introduction to Building Pathology 2. Principles of Building Diagnostics 3. Basic Investigative Methodology 4. Diagnostic Techniques and Tools 5. Deterioration Mechanisms 6. Durability and Service Life Assessment 7. Moisture 8. Foundations 9. Floors, Floor Finishes and DPMs 10. Walls and DPCs 11. Cladding 12. Doors and Windows 13. Roofs 14. Services 15. Failure Patterns and Control

About the Author James Douglas is a member of the editorial board of the well-established technical journalStructural Survey. In 1992 the College of Estate Management appointed him as a Visiting Lecturer in Technology, teaching and tutoring building technology and maintenance technology on its Diploma in Surveying course. He is also a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.Bill Ransom was a government research scientist working for the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the Department of the Environment and the Colonial Office travelling widely abroad to help resolve problems in construction technology. He retired in 1981 as head of the Building Integrity Division of the BRE and now lives in Devon.
