Introduction to Thermal and Fluid Engineering (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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