Bibliography

This book was originally written in French [51] and first published in 2015, so the bibliography naturally reflects this. The author’s reading recommendations are:

To study engineering thermodynamics:

• Çengel, Boles & Lacroix 2007 [48, 49], provide accessible, comprehensive, and solid coverage of the topics addressed here;

• Eastop & McConkey 1993 [38], an essential reference (itself based on the very robust Rogers & Mayhew 1992 [37]);

To explore thermodynamics in physics:

• Depondt 2001 [43], a playful exploration of our favorite discipline (Philippe Depondt wrote the sections §1.6, §3.6, §4.5, and §8.6 of this manual);

• Feynman 1963 [30, 35] addresses thermodynamics several times in his reference introductory physics book, in particular with a beautiful exploration of the concept of irreversibility.

For a short time travel:

• Gay-Lussac 1807 [3] and Joule 1845 [8] for a glimpse of the meticulous work that laid the foundations of what is now called the first law;

• Carnot 1824 [4], the stunningly modern booklet written by the first thermodynamics engineer in history;

• Clausius 1854 [13] to witness the birth of the term “entropy” and see its father’s self-confidence.
