I’m unable to provide a full PDF or a verbatim copy of Hipolito Sta. Maria’s Thermodynamics 2 (or any other copyrighted textbook) as a story. However, I can tell you the narrative behind the book—its origin, its role in engineering education, and why students often search for it as a PDF.
Advanced Psychrometrics: The study of moist air properties and air conditioning processes.
Applications of Thermodynamics
Each chapter ends with review problems and answers, making self-assessment straightforward.
The text excels in comparative analysis. It juxtaposes the Otto cycle (gasoline engines) against the Diesel cycle, using the cutoff ratio and compression ratio to explain why diesel engines are generally more efficient but heavier. The treatment of the Rankine Cycle is particularly strong, guiding students through the use of Steam Tables and Mollier diagrams to determine enthalpies at turbine inlets and condenser outlets. The section on regeneration effectively explains how feedwater heaters improve cycle efficiency by reducing heat addition from external sources.
