Introduction to Thermo-Fluids Systems Design (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
