Thermal-Fluid Sciences
This integrated textbook for an engineering course covering thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics is based on the fundamental conservation principles of mass, energy, and momentum. It features many full color illustrations, and includes chapter learning objectives, overviews, historical vignettes, numerous examples of problem-solving, and a format enhanced by innovative self tests and color coding to highlight significant equations and advanced topics. Integrated tutorials show the student how to use modern software, including the NIST Database on CD, to obtain thermodynamic and transport properties. Thermal-Fluid Sciences with Multimedia Fluid Mechanics CD-ROM (ISBN-13: 9780521682411 | ISBN-10: 052168241X)
- Integration of the thermal-fluid sciences is achieved by using the fundamental mass, energy, and momentum conservation laws as organizing principles and by using five practical applications - the steam power plant, the jet engine, solar-heated buildings, the spark-ignition engine, and biological systems - as themes throughout
- A problem-solving method is presented in Chapter 1 and all examples follow this method
- Practical applications are stressed throughout and using the NIST-online thermodynamic property database is stressed
Reviews & endorsements
“The book can easily be adopted as a course resource in undergraduate engineering fluid dynamics courses and even in a self-study approach. Highly recommended.”
