From the leading authors in the field, Michael Moran, Howard
Shapiro, Bruce Munson, and David DeWitt, comes an integrated
introductory presentation of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and
heat transfer. The unifying theme is the application of these
priciples in thermal systems engineering. Responding to pressures
to reduce credit hours in the curriculum and to ABET-inspired
objectives for more integrated treatment of engineering topics,
this text surveys the field of thermal sciences with an emphasis on
applications to thermal systems engineering. The authors have
identified the critical subject areas needed for analysis of
thermal systems, and provided them in a text of manageable size. A
flexible organization gives instructors choices in the coverage
they provide their students.
