Design and Simulation of Thermal Systems
N. V. Suryanarayana, Michigan Tech University
Oner Arici, Michigan Tech University


Overview

Design and Simulation of Thermal Systems is intended for students and practicing engineers working in the thermal design field. It combines practical coverage of thermal/fluid components and systems, with review coverage of prerequisite thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Extensive case studies and practical examples show students how the thermal design is done, and the techniques used to simulate and optimize such designs.

This title takes a modern approach, giving readers exposure to the general design process, use of software tools for design analysis & simulation, and experimental methods. Report writing, economic factors, and ethical considerations are also discussed in the context of engineering practice.

EES (Engineering Equation Solver) Academic Version will be available free with the book; this program allows users to model design problems, and do "what if?" analysis for project work.
