Thermal Engineering Data Handbook (With Ready Reckoner) - Softcover

This book has been prepared keeping in mind the need of a data book that covers all the areas in thermal engineering curriculum, namely, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, refrigeration and air-conditioning and solar energy. The data books generally available in the market are specific to any one of the above subjects but not all. The availability of such book as this makes the task of academic sections much easier as the need to supply to the students separate data books each for steam properties/tables, refrigerant tables/charts, heat transfer correlations, solar constants, etc. in university examinations will be eliminated. The book presents properties of various materials, tables/charts, formulae and empirical relations concerned with thermal engineering curriculum. The subject matter has been developed and compiled logically and integrated around a coherent central theme. This book will cater to the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of Mechanical, Industrial and Production, Chemical, and Aeronautical Engineering disciplines and also practising engineers. Salient Features: Detailed chapters on Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning, and Solar Energy. Illustrative figures, wherever required. S.I. units are consistently used throughout the book. Comprehensive presentation of contents in the beginning for quick reference.

This book is prepared to serve as a data handbook for the engineering students for the courses in Thermodynamics, Thermal Engineering, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, Heat and Mass Transfer, Energy systems and Non-Conventional Energy sources at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The data complied in this book has been presented in SI units since all universities / Institutions are using SI units only. The text is divided in three parts. The first part deals with thermal science and includes steam tables, refrigerant properties, Mollier chart, p-h charts for various refrigerants and psychrometric chart. The second part deals with heat and mass transfer and includes the property values of materials-solids, liquids and gases-that are commonly used in heat transfer problems and the last part deals with solar radiation, flat and concentrated collectors.
