SynopsisPresents balanced coverage of the three major subject areas, comprising introductory thermal-fluid engineering: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. By emphasizing the physics and underlying physical phenomena involved, this text encourages creative think, development of a deeper understanding of the subject matter, and more.
A must for every Mechanical Engineer! If you're looking for a great compendium on the subject of thermal fluid sciences, then Cengel's book is what you need. I found that the way in which the subjects were structured and presented made it very easy to learn about thermo and fluid mechanics. Also, there are A LOT of great exercises!
