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. This lavishly illustrated text provides a highly intuitive and practical understanding of the material by emphasizing the physics and the underlying physical phenomena involved. Using a reader-friendly approach and a conversational writing style, the book is self-instructive and entertains while it teaches. It shows that highly technical matter can be communicated effectively using simple yet precise language. The text is made up of Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and Fluids. The laws that govern these three subjects are all the same. Like all the other Cengel texts, it uses a similar pedagogical approach, by using familiar everyday examples.
