520	1		_a"This book presents a newly developed general conceptual and basic quantitative analysis of the mechanical efficiency of heat engines. The book presents a theory of mechanical efficiency at a level of ideality and generality compatible with the treatment-given to thermal efficiency in classical thermodynamics. This yields broad bearing results concerning the overall cyclic conversion of heat into usable mechanical energy."--BOOK JACKET.
