"Basic Thermodynamics: Software Solutions – Part I (Software used, Units,...)" by M. Thirumaleshwar

This book contains Solutions to Problems in Basic Thermodynamics. Problems are solved using three popular software, viz. “Mathcad”, “Engineering Equation Solver (EES)” and “The Expert System on Thermodynamics (TEST)”. Some ‘free software’ are also explained.

Part-I contains an Introduction to software used, information and worked-out problems on the topics of Units, Pressure, Temperature, and examples of extensive use of software to find properties of Pure substances and to perform related calculations.
