Introduction to Thermo-Fluids Systems Design, Hardcover by McDonald, Andre G., Magande, Hugh L., ISBN 1118313631, ISBN-13 9781118313633, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Designed to fill a lacuna in the contemporary undergraduate engineering curricula, this textbook by McDonald (U. of Alberta, Canada) and Magande (Rinnai America Corporation, US) bridges the gap between fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics and the practical design of thermo-fluids components and systems, with a focus on the design of internal fluid flow systems, coiled heat exchangers, and performance analysis of power plant systems. Fundamental concepts of internal fluid flow, conduction heat transfer, convection heat transfer, analysis of constant area fins, and thermodynamic power cycles are explained and used as tools to solve practical problems presented in examples. The textbook also highlights the use of manufacturers' catalogs to select equipment and practical rules to guide decision-making in the design process.
