Book Description
Published under the asspices of both IUPAC and its affiliated body, the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT), this book will serve as a guide to scientists or technicians who use equations of state for fluids. Concentrating on the application of theory, the practical use of each type of equation is discussed and the strengths and weaknesses of each are addressed. It includes material on the equations of state for chemically reacting and non-equilibrium fluids which have undergone significant developments and brings up to date the equations of state for fluids and fluid mixtures. Applied Thermodynamics of Fluids addresses the need of practitioners within academia, government and industry by assembling an international team of distinguished experts to provide each chapter. The topics presented in the book are important to the energy business, particularly the hydroncarbon economy and the development of new power sources and are also significant for the application of liquid crystals and ionic liquids to commericial products. This reference will be useful for post graduate researchers in the fields of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics.

Book Description
This practical handbook features an overview of the importance of physical properties and thermodynamics; and the use of thermo-dynamics to predict the extent of reaction in proposed new chem-ical combinations. The use of special types of data and pre-diction methods to develop flowsheets for probing projects; and sources of critically evaluated data, dividing the published works into three categories depending on quality are given. Methods of doing one's own critical evaluation of literature, a list of known North American contract experimentalists with the types of data mea-sured by each, methods for measuring equilibrium data, and ther-modynamic concepts to carry out process opti-mization are also featured.

Book Description
Thermofluids, while a relatively modern term, is applied to the well-established field of thermal sciences, which is comprised of various intertwined disciplines. Thus mass, momentum, and heat transfer constitute the fundamentals of th- mofluids. This book discusses thermofluids in the context of thermodynamics, single- and two-phase flow, as well as heat transfer associated with single- and two-phase flows. Traditionally, the field of thermal sciences is taught in univer- ties by requiring students to study engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, in that order. In graduate school, these topics are discussed at more advanced levels. In recent years, however, there have been attempts to in- grate these topics through a unified approach. This approach makes sense as thermal design of widely varied systems ranging from hair dryers to semicond- tor chips to jet engines to nuclear power plants is based on the conservation eq- tions of mass, momentum, angular momentum, energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. While integrating these topics has recently gained popularity, it is hardly a new approach. For example, Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot in Transport Phenomena, Rohsenow and Choi in Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer, El- Wakil, in Nuclear Heat Transport, and Todreas and Kazimi in Nuclear Systems have pursued a similar approach. These books, however, have been designed for advanced graduate level courses. More recently, undergraduate books using an - tegral approach are appearing.

Book Description
It is recognized that the study of mechanical engineering is built of a number of engineering sciences, some of which are of basic nature whereas some other are of applied nature. "Basic Thermodynamics" and "Basic Fluid Dynamics" are probably the two most important basic engineering sciences in the build of a Mechanical Power Engineer. In applied mechanical power engineering sciences, the principles introduced and analysed in these two basic sciences are common divisors. In other words, we may look at these two branches of basic engineering sciences as two legs on which Mechanical Power Engineering applications appear to stand. The science of "Basic Thermodynamics " is based mainly on a number of basic principles (in the form of laws) that lead to a number of equations describing and governing the behavior of several mechanical power systems. It is therefore of particular importance to introduce and analyse such equations. It is also essential to relate these principles and equations to each other and, whenever possible, to pertinent phenomena and applications. This may be achieved via worked examples that stem from from engineering practice. The science of "Basic Fluid Dynamics" is another basic engineering science of equal importance to "Basic Thermodynamics". The principles introduced and analysed by this basic science find applications in almost all applied mechanical power engineering sciences. Examples of these applied sciences are "Applied Thermodynamics", "Applied Fluid Dynamics", "Combustion Engineering"," Turbo-machinery", "Refrigeration and Air-conditioning", "Power Plants", "Gas dynamics". "Propulsion systems" ….etc. Because of the close inter-relation between the science of basic thermodynamics and the science of basic fluid dynamics, it has become a common practice to contained both sciences in one textbook under the title “Basic Thermo/fluid Dynamics” (the title of the present textbook). The present textbook on "Basic Thermo/fluid Dynamics" has been divided into distinct parts: A and B. In part A, we concentrate on "Basic Thermodynamics", attempting to present, with as much clarity as possible, the basic principles therein and giving several worked examples for the sake of clarification. In part B, we concentrate on "Basic Fluid Dynamics", applying the same philosophy as in Part A. In this part also, a special section (in chapter five) containing a rather concise manipulation of the applied science of "Compressible Fluid (Gas) Dynamics" is presented, being an important combined application of the basic principles discussed in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics. Moreover, It was felt by the authors that it is particularly important to include this section on gas dynamics, since, in spite of being applied in nature, it is regarded by many as basic more than applied. The last chapter of Part A and chapter five of Part B cover some important engineering applications of the principles given apriori. Each of these applications may be looked upon as a brief exposition of an applied engineering science carrying the title of the application under consideration. This was felt imperative to the advantage hopefully to be gained by the student. The authors are indebted to their colleague Dr. Mohammad S.H. Emeara of the Mechanical Power Engineering Department, Zagazig University, for assisting with part of the illustrations and wish to thank him for rendering this assistance in the early stages of preparation of this textbook.

Book Description
This first volume discusses fluid mechanical concepts and their applications to ideal and viscous processes. It describes the fundamental hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, and includes an almanac of flow problems for ideal fluids. The book presents numerous exact solutions of flows in simple configurations, each of which is constructed and graphically supported. It addresses ideal, potential, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Simple, yet precise solutions to special flows are also constructed, namely Blasius boundary layer flows, matched asymptotics of the Navier-Stokes equations, global laws of steady and unsteady boundary layer flows and laminar and turbulent pipe flows. Moreover, the well-established logarithmic velocity profile is criticised.
