The third edition of "Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences"
presents a balanced coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics,
and heat transfer packaged in a manner suitable for use in
introductory thermal sciences courses. By emphasizing the physics
and underlying physical phenomena involved, the text gives students
practical examples that allow development of an understanding of
the theoretical underpinnings of thermal sciences. All the popular
features of the previous edition are retained in this edition while
new ones are added. This book features learning objectives. Each
chapter now begins with an overview of the material to be covered
and chapter-specific learning objectives to introduce the material
and to set goals. It includes an early introduction to the first
law of thermodynamics (Chapter 2) establishing a general
understanding of energy, mechanisms of energy transfer, and the
concept of energy balance, thermo-economics, and conversion
efficiency.It features separate coverage of closed system and
control volume energy analyses. The energy analysis of closed
systems is now presented in a separate chapter (Chapter 5), and the
conservation of mass is covered together with conservation of
energy in another chapter (Chapter 6). It offers a new chapter on
fluid kinematics. The all new Chapter 11 covers topics related to
fluid kinematics, such as the Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions
of fluid flows, flow patterns, and flow visualization. It features
updated steam and refrigerant-134a tables. The steam and
refrigerant-134a tables are updated using the most current property
data from EES. Students will now get the same result when solving
problems whether they use properties from EES or property tables in
the appendices. Media Resources and Limited Academic Version of EES
with selected text solutions are packaged with the text on the
Student DVD.A website offers online resources for instructors
including PowerPoint[registered] lecture slides, and complete
solutions to homework problems.
