| fundamentals of thermal engineering: Introduction to Thermal and Fluids Engineering Deborah A. Kaminski, Michael K. Jensen, 2011-11-08 An integrated approach: Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer are presented as a unified body of knowledge.. Examples and problems are used to illustrate the integration of the three disciplines in practice. Benefit: The integrated approach builds a firm understanding of the interconnection among the 3 topic areas.. Common notation used throughout text: to reinforce the connectedness of the topics, and to minimize student confusion, a common notation is introduced and used throughout the text. Flexibility: The text is designed to support a wide variety of syllabi and course structures. After Chapters 2, 3, and 4, there are multiple paths through the book depending on the curricular needs. Benefit: Instructors are able to customize the text to their specific curricular needs. Example Problems & End-of Chapter Exercises: Examples and problems are used to illustrate the integration of the three disciplines in practice. The text features a rich collection of example problems (over 150) and end-of-chapter exercises (over 850). The problems range from the simple (to illustrate one concept or point) to the complex (to show the need for integration, synthesis of topics and tools, and the use of a logical problem solution approach). Benefit: Increased student concept comprehension and consistent reinforcement of students? problem solving skills. The detailed solutions are valuable in demonstrating how to incorporate information from several different disciplines in solving problems Familiar, down-to-earth examples: Clear descriptions of physical and fundamental processes that are related to what a student may observe in his/her everyday life are used in many examples. The illustrative examples bring together physical processes, governing equations, and concrete examples of applications of the points being taught. Benefit: students are more easily able to relate to and understand important concepts. An emphasis on problem solving: Students learn by problem solving, and in addition to the wealth of examples and problems throughout the text, assumptions are stated when they are used in the problem solution. Some of the example problems are industrially relevant; these example problems and other practical engineering applications are used throughout the text to provide motivation to the students. Benefit: Students are able to see the problem-solving process in action. In many cases, assumptions are not all known at the start of a problem. During the course of solution, it often becomes apparent that an assumption is needed. Kaminski & Jensen's approach emphasizes this. ?Approach? section for each problem: After the problem statement is given and prior to actually solving the problem, the general approach to the problem solution is stated briefly to enable students to see the path the solution will take. Benefit: Provides direction to students who need that extra support. Enables professors to discuss a problem solution before an equation is written, for example. Early introduction to heat transfer: The subject, of major importance to EE majors, is introduced in Ch. 3. Benefit: Allows students to relate the heat term in the First Law of Thermodynamics to fundamental modes of heat transfer and tackle more realistic problems earlier in their engineering education. Property evaluations are not introduced until Chapter 5. Benefit: Many practical topics from fluid mechanics and heat transfer can be taught with minimal emphasis on thermodynamics. (Chapters 5-8 can be omitted without loss of continuity.) This is especially useful if the course is for non-majors. Accessible writing style: Reviewers and students commend the clarity of the writing. In addition, all derivations are written out in detail, without skipping steps. Benefit: The high readability of the text enables students to better understand important concepts. |

| fundamentals of thermal engineering: Fundamentals of the Finite Element Method for Heat and Fluid Flow Roland W. Lewis, Perumal Nithiarasu, Kankanhalli N. Seetharamu, 2004-07-16 Heat transfer is the area of engineering science which describes the energy transport between material bodies due to a difference in temperature. The three different modes of heat transport are conduction, convection and radiation. In most problems, these three modes exist simultaneously. However, the significance of these modes depends on the problems studied and often, insignificant modes are neglected. Very often books published on Computational Fluid Dynamics using the Finite Element Method give very little or no significance to thermal or heat transfer problems. From the research point of view, it is important to explain the handling of various types of heat transfer problems with different types of complex boundary conditions. Problems with slow fluid motion and heat transfer can be difficult problems to handle. Therefore, the complexity of combined fluid flow and heat transfer problems should not be underestimated and should be dealt with carefully. This book: Is ideal for teaching senior undergraduates the fundamentals of how to use the Finite Element Method to solve heat transfer and fluid dynamics problems Explains how to solve various heat transfer problems with different types of boundary conditions Uses recent computational methods and codes to handle complex fluid motion and heat transfer problems Includes a large number of examples and exercises on heat transfer problems In an era of parallel computing, computational efficiency and easy to handle codes play a major part. Bearing all these points in mind, the topics covered on combined flow and heat transfer in this book will be an asset for practising engineers and postgraduate students. Other topics of interest for the heat transfer community, such as heat exchangers and radiation heat transfer, are also included. |

| fundamentals of thermal engineering: Fundamentals of Food Process Engineering Romeo T. Toledo, 2012-12-06 Ten years after the publication of the first edition of Fundamentals of Food Process Engineering, there have been significant changes in both food science education and the food industry itself. Students now in the food science curric ulum are generally better prepared mathematically than their counterparts two decades ago. The food science curriculum in most schools in the United States has split into science and business options, with students in the science option following the Institute of Food Technologists' minimum requirements. The minimum requirements include the food engineering course, thus students en rolled in food engineering are generally better than average, and can be chal lenged with more rigor in the course material. The food industry itself has changed. Traditionally, the food industry has been primarily involved in the canning and freezing of agricultural commodi ties, and a company's operations generally remain within a single commodity. Now, the industry is becoming more diversified, with many companies involved in operations involving more than one type of commodity. A number of for mulated food products are now made where the commodity connection becomes obscure. The ability to solve problems is a valued asset in a technologist, and often, solving problems involves nothing more than applying principles learned in other areas to the problem at hand. A principle that may have been commonly used with one commodity may also be applied to another commodity to produce unique products. |
