Description
Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences, Sixth Edition, is an abbreviated version of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer content and covers topics that engineering students are most likely to need in their their professional lives. The book communicates directly to the minds of tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, leading the students toward a clear understanding and firm grasp of the basic principles of thermal-fluid sciences. Special effort has been made to appeal to the readers' natural curiosity and to help students explore facets of the exciting subject area of thermal-fluid sciences.
Key updates have been made throughout the sixth edition, including:
Updated definitions of kilogram, mole, ampere, and kelvin from the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures in France are provided.
The graphical representation of the one-dimensional transient heat conduction solutions (Heisler charts) have been eliminated, and the er emphasis has been placed on the solutions with more accurate approximate or ex r exact analytical expressions.
A number of useful pictures have been added to the fluid mechanics chapters.
The explicit Churchill equation has been added as an alternative to the implicit Colebrook equation.
A large number of the end-of-chapter pr problems in the text have been modified, and many problems were replaced. Also, several of the solved example problems have been replaced.
