Description
Providing a concise overview of basic concepts, this textbook presents an introductory treatment of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Each chapter includes worked examples that illustrate the application of the material presented. Selected examples highlight the design aspect of thermal and fluid engineering study. In addition, numerous chapter problems are included throughout the text to support key concepts. This book explains how automobile and aircraft engineers, steam power plants, and refrigeration systems work and addresses such topics as fluid statics, buoyancy, stability, the flow of fluids in pipes and fluid machinery, and the thermal control of electronic components.
