The third edition of "Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences" presents a balanced coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer packaged in a manner suitable for use in introductory thermal sciences courses. By emphasizing the physics and underlying physical phenomena involved, the text gives students practical examples that allow development of an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of thermal sciences. All the popular features of the previous edition are retained in this edition while new ones are added. This book features learning objectives. Each chapter now begins with an overview of the material to be covered and chapter-specific learning objectives to introduce the material and to set goals. It includes an early introduction to the first law of thermodynamics (Chapter 2) establishing a general understanding of energy, mechanisms of energy transfer, and the concept of energy balance, thermo-economics, and conversion efficiency.It features separate coverage of closed system and control volume...
