Fundamentals of Thermal-fluid Sciences /Yunus A. Cengel

:: Description

          This book is intended for use as a textbook in a first course in thermal-fluid sciences for undergraduate engineering students in their junior or senior year, and as a reference book for practicing engineers. Students are assumed to have an adequate background in calculus, physics, and engineering mechanics. The objectives of this text are

• To cover the basic principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
• To present numerous and diverse real-world engineering examples to give students a feel for how thermal-fluid sciences are applied in engineering practice.
• To develop an intuitive understanding of thermal-fluid sciences by emphasizing the physics and physical arguments.

          The text contains sufficient material to give instructors flexibility and to accommodate their preferences on the right blend of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer for their students. By careful selection of topics, an instructor can spend one-third, one-half, or two-thirds of the course on thermodynamics and the rest on selected topics of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
