Sanford Klein & Gregory Nellis, University of Wisconsin, Madison This book differs from other thermodynamics texts in its objective which is to provide engineers with the concepts, tools, and experience needed to solve practical real-world energy problems.

The presentation integrates computer tools (e.g., EES) with thermodynamic concepts to allow engineering students and practising engineers to solve problems they would otherwise not be able to solve.

The use of examples, solved and explained in detail, and supported with property diagrams that are drawn to scale, is ubiquitous in this textbook.

The examples are not trivial, drill problems, but rather complex and timely real world problems that are of interest by themselves. As with the presentation, the solutions to these examples are complete and do not skip steps.

Convective Heat and Mass Transfer

eBook available

S. Mostafa Ghiaasiaan, Georgia Institute of Technology This book was developed during Professor Ghiaasiaan’s ten years of teaching a graduate-level course on convection heat and mass transfer and is further enhanced by his twenty years of teaching experience. Ideal for a graduate course dealing with the theory and practice of convection heat and mass transfer, it treats well-established theory and practice, but is also enriched by its coverage of modern areas such as flow in microchannels and computational fluid dynamics-based design and analysis methods.

Visit: www.cambridge.org/KleinandNellis.

The book is richly enhanced by examples and end-of-chapter exercises with solutions available for qualified instructors. It includes 18 appendices providing compilations of most essential property and mathematical information for analysis of convective heat and mass transfer processes.

Particle Image Velocimetry Ronald J. Adrian, Arizona State University Jerry Westerweel, Technische Universiteit Delft, The Netherlands

eBook available

Edited by Holger Babinsky, University of Cambridge, John K. Harvey, Imperial College of Science

Particle image velocimetry, or PIV, refers to a class of methods used in experimental fluid mechanics to determine instantaneous fields of the vector velocity by measuring the displacements of numerous fine particles that accurately follow the motion of the fluid. Although the concept of measuring particle displacements is simple in essence, the factors that need to be addressed to design and implement PIV systems that achieve reliable, accurate, and fast measurements and to interpret the results are surprisingly numerous.

This book analyses and comprehensively explains the necessary factors for designing and implementing PIV systems.
