Fundamentals Of Thermal Fluid Sciences With Ees

Practicing engineers in several fields can turn here for an accessible overview of the basic principles in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer - all in a self-instructive, easy-to-follow format. This work focuses on developing a sense of the underlying physical mechanisms, and uses numerous examples and illustrations to help illuminate the real, thermal/fluid problems faced by engineers. It omits a heavy mathematical and theoretical emphasis in order to foster a more physical, intuitive approach to the subject matter.

The Second Edition of Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences presents balanced coverage of the three major subject areas comprising introductory thermal-fluid engineering: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. By emphasizing the physics and underlying physical phenomena involved, the text encourages creative think, development of a deeper understanding of the subject matter, and is read with enthusiasm and interest by both students and professors.

"This text is an abbreviated version of standard thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer texts, covering topics that engineering students are most likely to need in their professional lives"--

The best-selling Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences is designed for the non-mechanical engineering student who needs exposure to key concepts in the thermal sciences in order to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. The text is made up of Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluids. Like all the other Cengel texts, it uses a similar pedagogical approach, by using familiar everyday examples followed by theory and analysis.
