Introduction to Thermal Systems Engineering
with CD-ROM
by Michael J. Moran

Introduction to Thermal Systems Engineering offers an integrated presentation of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer—in one concise text!

Developed by leading educators in the field, this book sets the standard for those interested in the thermal-fluids market. It contains all the core material needed in thermal systems engineering while an accompanying CD-ROM offers the full printed text, 200 pages of additional content, and a wealth of resources that will enhance your understanding of the material and help you hone your problem solving skills.

Drawing on the best of what works from market leading texts in thermodynamics, fluids and heat transfer, this book introduces thermal engineering using a systems focus, introduces structured problem-solving techniques, and provides applications of interest to all engineers.
