Design of Fluid Thermal Systems

By William S. Janna

Book Overview

Janna places special emphasis on the design process while exposing students to a wide variety of practical problems. The first eight chapters deal with piping systems, heat exchangers, and pumps. (The SI System of Units is presented.) Chapter 9 introduces students to the design process; and Chapter 10 introduces students to 20-25 design projects that they can complete on their own or in teams. For these projects, the instructor takes on the role of general contractor with severqal projects to be completed, and the students become small consulting companies who must develop estimates and bid on the projects. After the bidding process is finished, each group devotes the rest of the semester to managing and completing their porject, and then compares their estimated bids and task planning to the actuals tasks and costs.

An Excellent Handbook

This book is an exceptional follow up to the fluid dynamics publication by the same author. The material in this text is presented in a very straightforward manner which any mechanical engineer should be able to comprehend and apply. This is a must have for the engineer who wishes to design functional fluid thermal systems. This is my second copy.

A really practical design book for engineer

The content of this book is easily read for me!! It contains almost all practical equations and criteria in the field of thermal system design. The most important point I like the book is that it has really help me a lot with my work in many times. It is so suit to asist engineers in preliminary design of fluid thermal system.

Outstanding Book

This is an outstanding book. The text is very readable, and the material very practicle. This book could be picked up, read briefly, and applied to real world problems without any further instruction.
