Thermodynamics, Joseph H. Keenan, HB, 1941 John Wiley & Sons 8th printing (1949)

Description: This item is a hardcover book titled "Thermodynamics" by Joseph H. Keenan, originally printed by John Wiley & Sons in 1941. This is the 8th printing from 1949. Joseph H. Keenan, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a noted authority on thermodynamics, whose interests have extended to jet and rocket propulsion and to gas turbines.Born in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1900, Professor Keenan graduated from MIT in 1922 with the degree of Bachelor of Science in naval architecture and marine engineering. In 1928, after six years as a stem-turbine design engineer for General Electric Company in Schenectady, NY, he became assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He joined the MIT staff in 1934 as associate professor of mechanical engineering, in 1939 he became professor, and was appointed head of the department of mechanical engineering in 1958.Professor Keenan is author of "Thermodynamics" (1941). He is co-author of "Thermodynamic Properties of Steam" (1936), a basic source of data for design for power and process machinery, which has been very influential in the steam-power industry. "Thermodynamic Properties of Air" (1945) and "Gas Tables" (1948), prepared by Professor Keenan and Professor Joseph Kaye, have been used extensively in design and engineering work related to gas turbine, jet-propulsion machinery, and internal combustion engines.
