Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences

The Second Edition of Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences presents up-to-date, 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.
