The laws of thermodynamics are discussed with emphasis on their real-world applications. this comprehensive resource clearly presents the flow-governing equations of fluid mechanics, including those of mass, linear momentum, and energy conservation. flow behavior through turbomachinery components is also addressed. the three modes of heat transfer--conduction, convection, and radiation--are described along with practical applications of each.
