engineering thermofluids thermodynamics fluid mechanics and heat transfer

[...]... all matter has.” We leave the definitions and discussion of energy, heat, work, and power to the chapter on thermodynamics In this chapter we introduce thermofluids and discuss the engineering applications of thermofluids in the design and operation of thermal systems, such as those used in power production Thermal systems deal with the storage, conversion, and transportation of energy in its many forms... Chapter V also discusses heat transfer when a fluid changes phase such as the boiling of water and condensation of steam The knowledge gained in the first five chapters is then used in Chapter VI to discuss the applications of thermofluids in the design and operation of such thermal systems as heat exchangers (steam generators, feedwater heaters, and condensers), turbines, and pumps Engineering mathematics... A thermodynamic cycle, as shown in Figure I.4.1 and discussed in Chapter II, consists of a heat source, a heat sink, an engine, and the working fluid In a thermodynamic cycle, the working fluid is energized in the heat source and then directed to the engine to produce power The working fluid is then passed through the heat sink and pumped back to the heat source to continue the cycle Systems using... most abundant fluids on earth Liquids and gases in thermal systems are referred to as working fluids As discussed in the chapter on fluid mechanics, there are also other types of fluids such as blood, glue, lava, slurry, tar, and toothpaste, which are analyzed differently than liquids and gases From this brief introduction, we conclude that: thermofluids is a subject that analyzes systems and processes... Chapter II and learn about thermodynamics and its associated laws governing the processes involved in thermal systems This is followed by Chapter III on fluid mechanics and its related topics on the application of the working fluids in thermal systems Chapter III deals exclusively with the flow of single-phase fluids The topic of heat transfer in both solids and single-phase fluids is discussed in Chapter... electron volt Mega Watt electric Mega Watt thermal Rankine second steady state Watt I Introduction 1 Definition of Thermofluids The study of thermofluids integrates various disciplines of the field of thermal sciences This field consists of such topics as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, all of which are discussed in various chapters of this book The fascinating concept of energy is the...
