Reviews

This book is written ... in a very lucid manner. The language used to express the author's viewpoint about the subject matter is very interesting and attracts the reader to jump deeper into the book. It not only covers the elementary portion of thermal sciences, but the author also skillfully elaborates on the important topics. In total, the book is extremely useful for the beginner and the skilled practitioner in the field of thermal sciences. -Anil Kumar Patil, DIT University Dehradun [U.K.] India This book is one of the most integrative works I have ever seen in this field. It mixes important theoretical subjects and real world problem solutions. The presentation is done in a simple and efficient way. I recommend this book for faculty, undergraduate/graduate students, engineers and scientists. -Adel El-Shahat, Georgia Southern University, USA
