The objective of this text is to cover the basic principles of
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Diverse real-world
engineering examples are presented to give students a feel for how
thermal-fluid sciences are applied in engineering practice. By
emphasizing the physics and physical arguments, students are able to
develop intuitive understanding of thermal-fluid sciences. This edition
contains sufficient material to give instructors flexibility and to
accommodate their preferences on the right blend of thermodynamics,
fluid mechanics, and heat transfer for their students. By careful
selection of topics, an instructor can spend one-third, one-half, or
two-thirds of the course on thermodynamics and the rest on selected
topics of fluid mechanics and heat transfer.
McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item.
Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by
continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they
need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect
allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and
automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work.
Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a
"multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if
they experience difficulty.
