This book is an exceptional follow up to the fluid dynamics publication by the same author. The material in this text is presented in a very straightforward manner which any mechanical engineer should be able to comprehend and apply. This is a must have for the engineer who wishes to design functional fluid thermal systems. This is my second copy.

The content of this book is easily read for me!! It contains almost all practical equations and criteria in the field of thermal system design. The most important point I like the book is that it has really help me a lot with my work in many times. It is so suit to asist engineers in preliminary design of fluid thermal system.

Above Average review of thermal fluid fundamentals. Recommended for the beginning pipeline engineer.

This is an outstanding book. The text is very readable, and the material very practicle. This book could be picked up, read briefly, and applied to real world problems without any further instruction.

One of the truly good books for students and practicing engineers alike. Straightforward and to the point. ME's should have this on their bookshelf. I also recommend Heat Transfer in Process Engineering by Cao. Both are great books worth the read. I read the second edition in paperback.

The exercises do not have the answer for students to check their work. In the examples showed in the calculation part, there are no unit show and make the students confusing on how the calculation work. For example, in ideal gas equaltion, the book shows pv = mrt which m stands for mass. It is confusing. The rest of the book is okay but it needs to be edited again.
