<p>Thermofluids An Integrated Approach to Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics Principles C. Marquand University of Westminster, London, UK D. Croft Sheffield Hallam University, UK This is a book about Energy. It examines some of the ways in which different types of energy are converted from one form to another. In particular, it considers why so many conversion processes which involve heat have a low efficiency. The text deliberately combines the topics of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, enabling readers to understand the wider field of energy transfer for thermal and fluid flow systems. The authors adopt a logical and simple-to-follow approach in order to introduce the potentially difficult and confusing aspects of thermofluids.

This text is concerned with the methods in which different types of energy are converted from one form to another. In particular, the book examines why so many of the energy conversion processes which involve heat have a low efficiency rating. Traditionally, methods for analyzing energy conversion processes are covered in texts about thermodynamics or fluid mechanics. Here, however, the two subjects are combined to form a continuous study under the name "thermofluids". The advantage of doing this is that the reader can understand the wider field of energy conversion for thermal and fluid flow systems. Many worked examples are included to illustrate the text.
