Thermal Energy Systems: Design and Analysis

This text provides a practical approach for senior/fourth-year students in mechanical engineering who have taken basic courses in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, engineering heat transfer, and the engineering design process. The text reviews basic concepts as needed, and covers the math needed to analyze and optimize thermal-fluid systems. It introduces numerical and computer methods as well. Examples, case studies, and design problems are used throughout the book to build students' design skills, and help them synthesize their knowledge in the background topics.
