All Mechanical Engineering Students Should Own This Book

Excellent book. A Must-Have for just about all engineers, in particular mechanical engineers. Great overview of a vast array of topics for thermal and fluid engineering applications. This book is also a great reference once you understand the basics. Offers some details you wouldn't expect in an introductory text and some nice tables in the appendices. Buy a copy of this book to learn from and then to occupy a well-deserved spot on your bookshelf.

Thermal Fluid book

shipped in a very reasonable time, was in good condition, price was very fair. Great value

Great for learning the FUNDAMENTALS.

I thought this was a very well written, organized book. The concepts were explained very clearly. It was great to finally find an understandable book on this subject; other thermo/fluids books that I have read haven't been as informative and comprehendable.One of the drawbacks, however, was the fact that the examples presented within the book were very simple and didn't cover the concepts in as much depth as I had hoped. Many complex topics that were in the questions at the end of the chapter hadn't been covered well enough in the preceding text to allow them to be both solved AND understood. Furthermore, there were some thermo/fluid topics that weren't covered in the book at all that I thought should have been (compressible flow, for example). As a result, when I took the course in college, my professor had to print out pages from other thermo books to compensate for this. Despite this, however, there were many pictures that accompanied the examples and again, as stated above, it was easy to understand. I was very impressed with that, given the abstractness of the subject, and the difficulty that other authors have had explaining it effectively. The bottom line: It was a great book to learn about the fundamentals. I suppose, according to the title, it has served its purpose. However, if you want to go into depth with this subject, go elsewhere.
