Entropy Generation Through Heat and Fluid Flow

By Adrian Bejan

The first textbook to bridge the gap between three cornerstones of engineering education: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. It provides an effective method to teach the thermodynamic (second law) aspects of heat and fluid flow processes, and shows how to use such processes in the design of energy-efficient devices. The text offers a wide range of original research to support the ''entropy generation minimazation'' philosophy and includes 250 references in the field of thermodynamic optimization and the thermodynamics of heat and fluid flow.
