Résumé

Thermal-Fluid Sciences is a truly integrated textbook for an engineering course covering thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics. This new version includes a second CD containing the Homsy et al. Multimedia Fluid Mechanics.

The integration of the text is based on:

1. The fundamental conservation principles of mass, energy, and momentum;
2. An hierarchical grouping of related topics;
3. The early introduction and revisiting of practical device examples and applications.

The focus is on accuracy and pedagogy. To enhance learning Thermal-Fluid Sciences features full colour illustrations. The robust pedagogy includes: chapter learning objectives, overviews, historical vignettes, numerous examples following a consistent problem-solving format enhanced by innovative self tests. Each chapter concludes with a brief summary and a unique checklist of key concepts and definitions. Integrated tutorials show the student how to use modern software including the NIST Database (included on the in-text CD) to obtain thermodynamic and transport properties.

Integration of the thermal-fluid sciences is achieved by using the fundamental mass, energy, and momentum conservation laws as organizing principles and by using five practical applications - the steam power plant, the jet engine, solar-heated buildings, the spark-ignition engine, and biological systems - as themes throughout
Practical applications are stressed throughout and using the NIST-online thermodynamic property database is stressed
Two CD-Roms are packaged with the text that contain the Homsy et al. Multimedia Fluid Mechanics and the National Institute of Standards (NIST) database of physical properties
