Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences with Student Resource DVD

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Yunus A. Cengel, Robert H. Turner, John M. Cimbala

The best-selling Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences is designed for the non-mechanical engineering student who needs exposure to key concepts in the thermal sciences in order to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. The text is made up of Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Fluids. Like all the other Cengel texts, it uses a similar pedagogical approach, by using familiar everyday examples followed by theory and analysis.

This edition features a return of Power and Refrigeration Cycles coverage in a revised and streamlined new chapter as well as more examples featuring sustainability and green technology. Additionally, the artwork is substantially revised and improved with more inclusion of three-dimensional figures.

Cengel presents a comprehensive, but ultimately bewildering tour of thermodynamics. It's possible that my perspective on this book is colored by my recollection of an arduous junior year of college, but I ultimately found this to be one of the least helpful books of my undergraduate education. The example cases of a 'hot egg' still haunt me.
