Analytical Heat Transfer
John Ward-Smith
Je-Chin Han
Bernard S. Massey
Formerly Brunel University, UK
As in previous editions, this ninth edition of Massey’s Mechanics of Fluids introduces the basic principles of fluid mechanics in a detailed and clear manner. This bestselling textbook provides the sound physical understanding of fluid flow that is essential for an honors-degree course in civil or mechanical engineering as well as courses in aeronautical and chemical engineering. Focusing on the engineering applications of fluid flow, rather than mathematical techniques, students are gradually introduced to the subject, with the text moving from the simple to the complex, and from the familiar to the unfamiliar. In an all-new chapter, the ninth edition closely examines the modern context of fluid mechanics, where climate change, new forms of energy generation, and fresh water conservation are pressing issues. SI units are used throughout and there are many worked examples. Though the book is essentially self-contained, where appropriate, references are given to more detailed or advanced accounts of particular topics providing a strong basis for further study. Features: • Includes a new chapter on the modern context of fluid mechanics • Serves as a core course text • Presents material that is thorough, yet well-paced Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption

“… it will complete my library … [and] complement the existing literature on heat transfer. It will be of value for both graduate students and faculty members.” —Bengt Sunden, Lund University, Sweden
Developed from the author’s 30 years of teaching a graduate-level intermediate heat transfer course, Analytical Heat Transfer explains how to analyze and solve conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer problems. Suitable for entry-level graduate students, the book fills the gap between basic heat transfer undergraduate courses and advanced heat transfer graduate courses. The author places emphasis on modeling and solving engineering heat transfer problems analytically, rather than simply applying the equations and correlations for engineering problem calculations. By providing a strong analytical background, the text enables students to tackle complex engineering heat transfer problems encountered in practice. This analytical knowledge also helps them to read and understand heat transfer-related research papers. Features: • Presents well-known analytical methods and solutions, including Bessel functions, separation of variables, similarity method, integral method, and matrix inversion method • Provides detailed step-by-step mathematical formula derivations, analytical solution procedures, and many examples of engineering heat transfer applications • Includes problems and references at the end of each chapter Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption

Mechanics Continuum Mechanics for Engineers Third Edition
Finite Element Simulations Using ANSYS
G. Thomas Mase, Ronald E. Smelser, and George E. Mase Continuum Mechanics for Engineers, Third Edition provides engineering students with a complete, concise, and accessible introduction to advanced engineering mechanics. The impetus for this latest edition was the need to suitably combine the introduction of continuum mechanics, linear and nonlinear elasticity, and viscoelasticity for a graduate-level course sequence. An outgrowth of course notes and problems used to teach these subjects, the third edition of this bestselling text explores the basic concepts behind these topics and demonstrates their application in engineering practice. A new rearranged and expanded chapter on elasticity more completely covers Saint-Venant’s solutions. Subsections on extension, torsion, pure bending and flexure present an excellent foundation for posing and solving basic elasticity problems. The authors’ presentation enables continuum mechanics to be applied to biological materials, in light of their current importance. They have also altered the book’s notation—a common struggle for many students—to better align it with modern continuum mechanics literature. This book addresses students’ need to understand the sophisticated simulation programs that use nonlinear kinematics and various constitutive relationships. It includes an introduction to problem solution using MATLAB®, emphasizing this language’s value in enabling users to stay focused on fundamentals. Features: • Carefully explains mathematical concepts as they are introduced • Includes expanded and reorganized treatment of elasticity • Contains additional examples, exercises, and applications • Incorporates some MATLAB examples Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption

Carlos A. Smith and Scott W. Campbell
Phillip A. Laplante
University of South Florida, Tampa, USA
The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA
Emphasizing a practical approach for engineers and scientists, A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation avoids overly theoretical explanations and shows readers how differential equations are derived by applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. This textbook also covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. In addition, the authors discuss how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations in which analytical solutions cannot be determined.
Engineers and scientists of all types are often required to write reports, summaries, manuals, guides, and so forth. While these individuals certainly have had some sort of English or writing course, it is less likely that they have had any instruction in the special requirements of technical writing. Filling this void, Technical Writing: A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media.
Providing the necessary tools to apply differential equations in engineering and science, this text helps readers understand differential equations, their meaning, and their analytical and computer solutions. It illustrates how and where differential equations develop, how they describe engineering systems, how to obtain the analytical solution, and how to use software to simulate the systems. Features: • Teaches how to model engineering systems • Reviews the necessary physics material • Explores how to obtain the analytical solution of differential equations using actual physical systems • Discusses how the roots of the characteristic equation provide the qualitative nature of the response of any systems • Explains how to use simulation software • Provides numerical values in all examples and problems Solutions manual available upon qualifying course adoption
