Description

Book Synopsis
Uses an integrated approach to show the interrelationships between thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, stressing the physics of each. Mathematical description is included to allow the solution of simple problems in thermal sciences. New to this edition--SI and English units plus twice as many example problems which emphasize practical applications of the principles discussed.

Table of Contents
Thermodynamic Concepts and Definitions.

Properties of Pure Substances.

System Analysis--First and Second Laws.

Control Volume Analysis.

External Flow--Fluid Viscous and Thermal Effects.

Internal Flows--Fluid Viscous and Thermal Effects.

Conduction Heat Transfer.

Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer.

Appendix.

Answers to Selected Problems.
