About this product

Product Information

This book covers three key subjects: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Taking a well-balanced approach, the authors clearly demonstrate the connections among the three interrelated subjects. Because of the consistent terminology and continuity, readers will find it easier to learn the three subjects. Instructors will also find it easier to refer to material covered earlier (e.g. thermodynamic laws as applied in fluid mechanics and heat transfer). The book has a design emphasis and provides the appropriate amount of material for non-mechanical engineering students. Addressing various levels of difficulty, the authors provide a wealth of examples and exercises, including synthesis problems and design problems.

New Edition
Reviews
The authors deserve commendations for the very clear pacing, structure and organization of the material and the multitude of examples and chapter problems. Students love to see the examples and they will enjoy having so many to use as guides. The authors have a nice balance of leading the students through the problem while still making them think.
