Introduction to Thermal and Fluid Engineering presents an integrated overview of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics specifically designed for engineering students not specializing in mechanical engineering. The text shows how all three components of thermal and fluid sciences--thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics--relate to each other. It offers intensely practical, design-oriented examples that relate to electrical, civil, aerospace, computer, and chemical engineering. Students willlearn about thermal science applications that pertain to the challenges awaiting them in the real world, as opposed to studying theory that is irrelevant to their future careers. Introduction to Thermal and Fluid Engineering is ideal for undergraduate survey courses and can be used as a professional reference. It assumes knowledge of basic physics and mathematics through ordinary differential equations.

Allan Kraus is Professor Emeritus at the University of Akron in Ohio.

J.R. Welty is Professor at Oregon State University.

A. Aziz is Professor at Gonzaga University in Washington.
