This textbook covers almost all the questions that are contained in traditional textbooks on thermodynamics. Its peculiarity is that when presenting the basic laws of thermodynamics, concepts such as power, mass flow, and heat flow are used, which should facilitate students’ understanding of the role and place of thermodynamics in the system of natural science subjects and teach them to apply the laws of thermodynamics to solve practical problems. When presenting the material, the meaning of theoretical provisions is revealed in many places by analyzing problems. To consolidate the acquired knowledge, at the end of each chapter there is a large number of high-quality questions and tasks of varying complexity.

Complies with the current requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education.

For students of higher educational institutions studying in natural sciences, engineering and technical areas and specialties.
