This edition is totally revised with two new additional chapters-Compressible Fluid Flow and Fluid Power Systems. The chapters on Buoyancy, Flow in Closed Conduits, FLow Measurements and Hydrodynamics are enlarged. Also in all chapters a number of new solved problems, examples and exercise problems have been added.
The text provides the following:
Guidance in building of physical and mathematical models more often called derivation of equations to describe the physical situation.
About 320 numerical examples for the application of the equations derived
About 300 sketches explaining the physical situations.
About 500 solved problems to highlight the whole spectrum of applications.
About 750 objective questions with answers for self evaluation.
More than 500 graded problems for exercise mostly with answers.
Stress on validation of numerical results by counter checking.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR C P Kothandaraman
C.P. Kothandaraman, B.E. (Hons.), M.S., Ph.D., F.I.E., started his teaching career as lecturer in Mechanical Engineering in 1958 at the P.S.G. College of Technology. After promotion as a professor in 1967, he continued to work for the college until his retirement in 1991 as a Vice Principal.
His subject areas are Heat Transfer, Thermal Science and Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, Solar Energy and Bio-gas Applications. Since 1985, he has also guided teaching of CAD/CAM subjects.
His other books with the same publishers are (1) Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer (2) Refrigeration Data Book and (3) Steam Tables. His other publication in this area is the widely used Heat and Mass Transfer Data Book for which Dr. S. Subramanian is the co-author. He has also co-authored books on Thermodynamics, Thermal Engineering and Computer Graphics.
He is now engaged in providing consultation in the design of heat exchangers, dryers, boilers and dust collection equipment.
