    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.”

He has published numerous refereed journal articles on many of these topics. Steve Turns is a member of the ASME and many other professional organizations and an ASME-ABET Program Evaluator since 1994. Steve is also a dedicated teacher for which he has won numerous awards including the Penn State Teaching and Learning Consortium, Hall of Fame Faculty Award; Penn State's Milton S. Eisenhower Award for Distinguished Teaching; the Premier Teaching Award, Penn State Engineering Society; and the Outstanding Teaching Award, Penn State Engineering Society. Steve's talent as a teacher is also reflected in his best-selling advanced undergraduate textbook Introduction to Combustion: Concepts and Applications 2/e. Steve's commitment to students and teaching is reflected in the innovative approach and design of Thermal-Fluid Sciences: An Integrated Approach and its companion volume Thermodynamics, also published by Cambridge University Press.
