Overview

Compact enough to leave ample time for design projects, it focuses on thermal-fluid systems (rather than on components of systems), and features a chapter-long example of a major design project with diverse features. Provides a compact presentation of design -- focusing on thermal-fluid systems -- to allow ample time to be devoted to a major design project. This book includes an introductory chapter on stimulating the design process, organizing and managing a design team, and reporting the design itself. Discusses important financial and economic concepts, reminding designers to keep an eye on component cost and financial considerations in their design.

Intended for use by senior-level students of mechanical engineering, this text covers primary information necessary for the design of thermal-fluid systems. Emphasis is placed on the synthesis of components into a thermal-fluid system to accomplish a specified task with technical, economical, and social constraints. Coverage includes techniques useful in developing and reporting the conceptualization and refinement of schemes for such systems; component characteristics and figures of merit, engineering, economy, optimization, reliability, and safety and liability; and the steps responsible for a feasible solution of an illustrative design problem.
