The fifth edition in SI units of Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences presents a balanced coverage of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer packaged in a manner suitable for use in introductory thermal sciences courses.

... fluid mechanics and heat transfer , turbulence , turbulence modeling , turbomachinery , indoor air quality , and air pollution control . During the aca- demic year 1993-94 , Professor Cimbala took ... Fundamentals of Thermal - Fluid Sciences.

This work focuses on developing a sense of the underlying physical mechanisms, and uses numerous examples and illustrations to help illuminate the real, thermal/fluid problems faced by engineers.

The Second Edition of "Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences" presents up-to-date, balanced coverage of the three major subject areas comprising introductory thermal-fluid engineering: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.

"This text is an abbreviated version of standard thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer texts, covering topics that engineering students are most likely to need in their professional lives"--
