Since we drew these conclusions, many changes have occurred in both engineering education and engineering practice. Driving factors have been a contracting global economy, coupled with technological and environmental challenges associated with energy production and energy conversion. The impact of a weak global economy on higher education has been sobering.
Colleges and universities around the world are being forced to set priorities and answer tough questions as to which educational programs are crucial, and which are not. Was our previous assessment of the future of engineering, including the relevance of heat transfer, too optimistic? Faced with economic realities, many colleges and universities have set clear priorities. In recognition of its value and relevance to society, investment in engineering education has, in many cases, increased.
Pedagogically, there is renewed emphasis on the fundamental principles that are the foundation for lifelong learning. June 11, John Finnemore and Joseph B. This book is well known and well respected in the civil engineering market and has a following among civil engineers. This book is for civil engineers that teach fluid mechanics both within their discipline and as a service course to mechanical engineering students.
As with all previous editions this 10th edition is extraordinarily accurate, and its coverage of open channel flow and transport is superior. There is a broader coverage of all topics in this edition of Fluid Mechanics with Engineering Applications. Furthermore, this edition has numerous computer-related problems that can be solved in Matlab and Mathcad. November 01, The book gives the most relevant, comprehensive, and readable information about the physical origins of mass and heat transfer and is recommended for students who are looking for factual information on the subject.
While there is emphasis on the original fundamentals as found in the previous editions, the highlight of this revised edition is the inclusion of new application areas of heat transfer. Through this book, readers will learn about the physical principles of heat transfer, the methods of computing heat transfer rates and material temperatures, the phenomena behind any process or system that involves heat transfer, and the application of concepts to real process.
