Eeering Design and Optimization of Thermofluid Systems is designed to help students and professionals alike understand the design and optimization techniques used to create complex eeering systems that incorporate heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and mass transfer.

A practical and accessible introductory textbook that enables eeering students to design and optimize typical thermofluid systems

Designed for thermal systems design courses, this comprehensive textbook covers thermofluid theory, practical applications, and established techniques for improved performance, efficiency, and economy of thermofluid systems. Students gain a solid understanding of best practices for the design of pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, HVAC systems, power generation systems, and more.

Covering the material using a pragmatic, student-friendly approach, the text bs by introducing design, optimization, and eeering economics―with emphasis on the importance of eeering optimization in maximizing efficiency and minimizing cost. Subsequent chapters review representative thermofluid systems and devices and discuss basic mathematical models for describing thermofluid systems. Moving on to system simulation, students work with the classical calculus method, the Lagrange multiplier, canonical search methods, and geometric programming. Throughout the text, examples and practice problems integrate emeg industry technologies to show students how key concepts are applied in the real world. This well-balanced textbook:

Integrates underlying thermofluid principles, the fundamentals of eeering design, and a variety of optimization methods

Covers optimization techniques alongside thermofluid system theory

Provides readers best practices to follow on-the-job when designing thermofluid systems Contains numerous tables, figures, examples, and problem sets

Emphasizing optimization techniques more than any other thermofluid system textbook available, Eeering Design and Optimization of Thermofluid Systems is the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and instructors in thermal systems design courses, and a valuable reference for professional mechanical eeers and researchers in the field.
