This book, 'Thermodynamics', is a revised and updated sixth edition. Written by Kenneth Wark and Donald E. Richards, the text presents a problem-solving method structured in five parts: data, unknowns, model, methodology, and analysis. It stands out for its consistent sign convention for work and heat, considering interactions as positive when received by the system. In addition, the use of the entropy balance equation is emphasized, and learning aids such as boxed equations, bold terms, and summaries at the end of each chapter are included. The book also addresses concepts of exergy and irreversibility, applying them to the analysis of power and refrigeration cycles, as well as chemically reactive systems.
