A comprehensive introduction to thermal sciences for engineering students in their junior and senior years. With a wealth of engineering applications, it is also a useful reference for practising engineers. The text covers the basic principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics in a readable manner, with 2-colour graphics throughout. The emphasis is kept on physics and physical arguments in order to develop an intuitive understanding of the subject matter. The text contains sufficient material to give instructors flexibility, and to accommodate their preferences on the right blend of thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics for their students.

A self instructive text for thermodynamics. This is the second edition of the title which can be supplemented by a solutions manual, OHT's and an IBM disk.

Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications, communicates directly with tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner. The text covers the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics in the context of numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples. The text helps students develop an intuitive understanding of fluid mechanics by emphasizing the physics, using figures, numerous photographs and visual aids to reinforce the physics. Fluid mechanics is by its very nature a highly visual subject, and students learn more readily by visual stimulation. This text distinguishes itself from others by the way the material is presented - in a progressive order from simple to more difficult, building each chapter upon foundations laid down in previous chapters. In this way, even the traditionally challenging aspects of fluid mechanics can be learned effectively.

Product Description: With complete coverage of the basic principles of heat transfer along with a broad range of applications in a flexible format, Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach, provides the perfect blend of fundamentals and applications. The text provides a highly intuitive and practical understanding of the material by emphasizing the physics and the underlying physical phenomena involved...read more

This supplement contains all the data and formulae necessary to complete a thermodynamics paper in a "closed-book examination" where students are not allowed access to their original textbooks, but can use tables as a reference source. Designed to accompany "Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach", 2nd edition, this booklet can be used in conjunction with any thermodynamics text for the exam. It is split into two parts: the first shows measurements in SI units, while the second refers to imperial units.

This text provides balanced coverage of the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer. Together with the clear and numerous illustrations, student-friendly writing style, and accessible math, this is an ideal text for an introductory thermal science course for non-mechanical engineering majors.
