Thermal-Fluid Sciences: An Integrated Approach

by Stephen R. Turns

This integrated textbook for an engineering course covering thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics is based on the fundamental conservation principles of mass, energy, and momentum. It features many full color illustrations, and includes chapter learning objectives, overviews, historical vignettes, numerous examples of problem-solving, and a format enhanced by innovative self tests and color coding to highlight significant equations and advanced topics. Integrated tutorials show the student how to use modern software, including the NIST Database on CD, to obtain thermodynamic and transport properties.
