Full Description

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.

Contents

Part 1 Thermodynamics: basic concepts of thermodynamics; properties of pure substances; energy transfer by heat, work and mass; the first law of thermodynamics; the second law of thermodynamics; entropy - a measure of disorder; power and refrigeration cycles. Part 2 Fluid mechanics: basic concepts of fluid mechanics; fluid statics; Bernoulli energy and momentum equations; flow in pipes; flow over bodies - drag and lift. Part 3 Heat transfer: mechanisms of heat transfer; steady heat conduction; transient heat conduction; forced convection; natural convection; radiation heat transfer; heat exchangers. Part 4 Appendices: property tables and charts (SI Units); property tables and charts (English Units); about the software - application chapters available on the Web; heating and cooling of buildings; cooling of electronic equipment.
