Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences with Student Resource CD

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Yunus A. Cengel, Robert H. Turner

The best-selling Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences is designed for the non-mechanical engineering student who needs exposure to key concepts in the thermal sciences in order to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. The text is made up of Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluids. Like all the other Cengel texts, it uses a similar pedagogical approach, by using familiar everyday examples followed by theory and analysis.

Cengel presents a comprehensive, but ultimately bewildering tour of thermodynamics. It's possible that my perspective on this book is colored by my recollection of an arduous junior year of college, but I ultimately found this to be one of the least helpful books of my undergraduate education. The example cases of a 'hot egg' still haunt me.
