Notes on Thermodynamics, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
(Henry Wilson Spangler's Notes on Thermodynamics: Volume O...)
Henry Wilson Spangler's Notes on Thermodynamics: Volume One is a brief yet detailed exploration of this branch of natural science. Spangler was a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and regularly lectured on the subject of thermodynamics. Notes on Thermodynamics thus originated as a collection of information that Spangler prepared for distribution to his students. The purpose of the book is to more rapidly educate students on the theoretical aspect of thermodynamics than could be done using existing textbooks. This is a brief work, and one that does not waste any space. Spangler has packed the book with mathematical formulas and equations used to demonstrate various principals of thermodynamics. The title is divided into sections which each highlight a specific aspect of the topic. Notes on Thermodynamics is a title that will appeal to those actively involved in the study of the subject matter. It is a highly technical work, and not one accessible for those without a background in math and science. This is not an introductory text, but rather one intended to complement a rigorous course of study. Notes on Thermodynamics is a dense eighty-four page book clearly aimed at the engineer or scientist. For those involved in the in-depth study of thermodynamics, Spangler's work here is of tremendous benefit. It is a concise and comprehensive overview of the topic and one that can serve as the perfect study guide for students.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Henry Wilson Spangler
Edit ProfileEducation
While he was attending public school in Carlisle, the United States Navy inaugurated the four-year course for engineers at the Naval Academy, announcing that twenty-five cadets would be appointed annually on competitive examination. Spangler, viewing this announcement somewhat in the light of a divine dispensation, took the examination, passed it, and received his appointment to the United States Naval Academy at the age of sixteen.
His career at the Academy was brilliant; his technical aptness led him into advanced work in mathematics, and he was graduated third in the class of cadet engineers in 1878.
Career
From 1878 to 1889 Spangler retained his affiliation with the Navy, rising to the rank of assistant engineer, and returning in 1898 for service with the rank of chief engineer during the Spanish-American War. Meanwhile, on detached service he was instructor in marine engineering (1881) and assistant professor of dynamical (mechanical) engineering from 1882 to 1884 and from 1887 to 1889 at the University of Pennsylvania, where in 1889 he was made full professor, a merited promotion which had been delayed on account of his youth.
His professorship did not stop him from returning to the Navy during the Spanish American War. Dr. Spangler served as a Chief Engineer from May to September, 1898, before being honorably discharged.
He died on March 17, 1912 at the age of 54.
Achievements
-
Henry Wilson Spangler maintained membership in the Franklin Institute and numerous professional societies. He was honored with membership on the advisory council of the Engineering Congress of the World's Columbian Exposition, 1893, and membership on the jury of awards of the Buffalo exposition of 1901. As an author he published standard textbooks on several subjects: Valve-Gears (1890); Notes on Thermodynamics (1901) and others.

Personality
As a teacher he was endowed with an imposing personality, a quick and brilliant mind, a stern sense of discipline, and a scathing contempt for affectation and pretense. These qualities, coupled with his genuine regard for accurate and rigorous teaching, made him feared at first and later loved by an admiring student body who manifested their affection through the kindly nickname, "Pop. "
Connections
Spangler married, December 1, 1881, Nannie Jane Foreman of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and they had three children.
