An Introduction to Engineering Thermofluids by John Shrimpton Pdf

This textbook provides a concise and clear incremental evolution of the introductory fluid mechanics and thermodynamics knowledge for first and second year engineering undergraduates. If you are a first or second year student of mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, marine or civil engineering this book is for you. Also this book is a suitable (and cheap) text for other science degrees where core knowledge of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics is required, for instance environmental science and meteorology. It may also help you if you are taking courses online. It is designed to support the lectures and examples you are given and help you answer the questions you are going to try to solve. It does not skip much, but there is not much padding. It does not seek to emulate the standard texts from the major publishers, which include lots of colour, examples, usually a vast array of web resources, DVDs and so on. I take the view that the lecturers who deliver your undergraduate course know their stuff and provide you with lecture slides which they explain, examples and other questions for you to try yourself. The book delivers the material incrementally, in more-or-less the order the students are actually taught the material over years 1 and 2. The challenge of developing a new introductory 'thermofluids' course, and the dearth of well priced and appropriate textbooks on the subject inspired me to write my own. I also saw no reason to give the rights to a publisher when none of the material is new and self-publishing is so straightforward. Taking this route allows me to keep the cost down to a small fraction of the combined cost of the alternatives.

Engineering Thermofluids by Mahmoud Massoud Pdf

Thermofluids, while a relatively modern term, is applied to the well-established field of thermal sciences, which is comprised of various intertwined disciplines. Thus mass, momentum, and heat transfer constitute the fundamentals of th- mofluids. This book discusses thermofluids in the context of thermodynamics, single- and two-phase flow, as well as heat transfer associated with single- and two-phase flows. Traditionally, the field of thermal sciences is taught in univer- ties by requiring students to study engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, in that order. In graduate school, these topics are discussed at more advanced levels. In recent years, however, there have been attempts to in- grate these topics through a unified approach. This approach makes sense as thermal design of widely varied systems ranging from hair dryers to semicond- tor chips to jet engines to nuclear power plants is based on the conservation eq- tions of mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. While integrating these topics has recently gained popularity, it is hardly a new approach. For example, Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot in Transport Phenomena, Rohsenow and Choi in Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer, El- Wakil, in Nuclear Heat Transport, and Todreas and Kazimi in Nuclear Systems have pursued a similar approach. These books, however, have been designed for advanced graduate level courses. More recently, undergraduate books using an - tegral approach are appearing.

Introduction to Thermo-Fluids Systems Design by Andrè Garcia McDonald,Hugh Magande Pdf

A fully comprehensive guide to thermal systems design covering fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamic power cycles Bridging the gap between the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and thermodynamics, and the practical design of thermo-fluids components and systems, this textbook focuses on the design of internal fluid flow systems, coiled heat exchangers and performance analysis of power plant systems. The topics are arranged so that each builds upon the previous chapter to convey to the reader that topics are not stand-alone items during the design process, and that they all must come together to produce a successful design. Because the complete design or modification of modern equipment and systems requires knowledge of current industry practices, the authors highlight the use of manufacturer’s catalogs to select equipment, and practical examples are included throughout to give readers an exhaustive illustration of the fundamental aspects of the design process. Key Features: Demonstrates how industrial equipment and systems are designed, covering the underlying theory and practical application of thermo-fluid system design Practical rules-of-thumb are included in the text as ‘Practical Notes’ to underline their importance in current practice and provide additional information Includes an instructor’s manual hosted on the book’s companion website

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics by Anil W. Date Pdf

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering. The book emphasizes understanding CFD through physical principles and examples. The author follows a consistent philosophy of control volume formulation of the fundamental laws of fluid motion and energy transfer, and introduces a novel notion of 'smoothing pressure correction' for solution of flow equations on collocated grids within the framework of the well-known SIMPLE algorithm. The subject matter is developed by considering pure conduction/diffusion, convective transport in 2-dimensional boundary layers and in fully elliptic flow situations and phase-change problems in succession. The book includes chapters on discretization of equations for transport of mass, momentum and energy on Cartesian, structured curvilinear and unstructured meshes, solution of discretised equations, numerical grid generation and convergence enhancement. Practising engineers will find this particularly useful for reference and for continuing education.
