Fundamentals of refrigeration thermodynamics

Fundamentals of refrigeration thermodynamics

Description:

The objective of the book is to serve first degree engineering students with an introduction to refrigeration systems. Typical topics include refrigeration thermodynamics, refrigeration systems and refrigeration modeling. These topics are presented in a student friendly manner assuming little to no previous knowledge of thermodynamis. The first part of the book deals with both the fundamentals of thermodynamics necessary in the study of refrigeration as well as the basics of refrigeration systems. The later chapters are more focused and slightly more advanced such that the student is introduced to the modeling aspects of refrigeration systems with the use of Mathworks® MATLAB.The objective of the book is to serve first degree engineering students with an introduction to refrigeration systems.

Foundation of Physics for Scientists and Engineers

Foundation of Physics for Scientists
and Engineers

Description:

The genesis behind writing a textbook in calculus-based physics stemmed from the fact that most existing textbooks are too detailed and voluminous. In writing this book, the author has minimized inconsequential details and only concentrated on physics concepts. The balance among different components of the book was also paramount. The author has avoided citing too many unwarranted examples and homework problems which create a fatigue environment for the student. This book provides an excellent foundation in physics for the students majoring in science and engineering.The genesis behind writing a textbook in calculus-based physics stemmed from the fact that most existing textbooks are too detailed and voluminous.

Fluid Mechanics and the Theory of Flight

Fluid Mechanics and the
Theory of Flight

Description:

The study of fluid mechanics is fundamental to modern applied mathematics, with applications to oceans, the atmosphere, flow in pipes, aircraft, blood flow and very much more. This text provides an introduction to the mathematical approach to this subject and to many of its main ideas, based on material typically found in most university courses. So, firstly, the methods and fundamental results, for a general fluid, are presented, and, secondly, the lift generation of aerofoils is analysed by using complex potentials. Numerous worked examples are provided throughout, as are many set exercises.The study of fluid mechanics is fundamental to modern applied mathematics, with applications to oceans, the atmosphere, flow in pipes, aircraft, blood flow and very much more.

Essential Engineering Mathematics

Essential Engineering Mathematics

Description:

This textbook covers topics such as functions, single variable calculus, multivariate calculus, differential equations and complex functions. The necessary linear algebra for multivariate calculus is also outlined. More advanced topics which have been omitted, but which you will certainly come across, are partial differential equations, Fourier transforms and Laplace transforms.

This book is partly based on lectures I gave at NUI Galway and Trinity College Dublin between 1998 and 2000. It is by no means a comprehensive guide to all the mathematics an engineer might encounter during the course of his or her degree. The aim is more to highlight and explain some areas commonly found difficult, such as calculus, and to ease the transition from school level to university level mathematics, where sometimes the subject matter is similar, but the emphasis is usually different. The early sections on functions and single variable calculus are in this spirit. The later sections on multivariate calculus, differential equations and complex functions are more typically found on a first or second year undergraduate course, depending upon the university. The necessary linear algebra for multivariate calculus is also outlined. More advanced topics which have been omitted, but which you will certainly come across, are partial differential equations, Fourier transforms and Laplace transforms.

This short text aims to be somewhere first to look to refresh your algebraic techniques and remind you of some of the principles behind them. I have had to omit many topics and it is unlikely that it will cover everything in your course. I have tried to make it as clean and uncomplicated as possible.

Hopefully there are not too many mistakes in it, but if you find any, have suggestions to improve the book or feel that I have not covered something which should be included please send an email to me at batty.mathmo (at) googlemail.com

Engineering Thermodynamics

Engineering Thermodynamics

Description:

Thermodynamics is an essential subject in the study of the behaviour of gases and vapours in real engineering applications.

This book is a complimentary follow up for the book “Engineering Thermodynamics” also published on BOOKBOON, presenting the solutions to tutorial problems, to help students to check if their solutions are correct; and if not, to show how they went wrong, and change it to get the correct answers.

This solutions manual is a small book containing the full solution to all tutorial problems given in the original book which were grouped in chapter four, hence the sections of this addendum book follows the format of the textbook, and it is laid out in three sections.
