Editorial Review:
This integrated textbook for an engineering course covering thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics is based on the fundamental conservation principles of mass, energy, and momentum. It features many full color illustrations, and includes chapter learning objectives, overviews, historical vignettes, numerous examples of problem-solving, and a format enhanced by innovative self tests and color coding to highlight significant equations and advanced topics. Integrated tutorials show the student how to use modern software, including the NIST Database on CD, to obtain thermodynamic and transport properties. Thermal-Fluid Sciences with Multimedia Fluid Mechanics CD-ROM (ISBN-13: 9780521682411 | ISBN-10: 052168241X)

A unusual attempt  2007-01-19
Stephen R. Turns, widely known for making understandable a very difficult field such as combustion without losing rigour midway, attempts to do the same with enginering thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, all in one.
Nice try. But one wonders about the utility of this book. More than thousand pages, all of them in color, lots of photographs and the latest pedagogical concepts, plus a CD, make it almost a piece of collection for every professor of thermal sciences alive.
But the introduction to advanced topics one was expecting all the way was lacking. Blatantly. Then, what difference does it make with purchasing Incropera's, Moran's and Fox's books out of a sudden?
Well, perhaps price it's only half the answer. I still don't know why. The integrated approach perhaps doesn't complete the other half. Overall: buy it, it will amuse you. And you can give a convincing answer to your relatives when they ask you: hey man, what do you teach at the university?
Highly Recommended  2006-12-13
Stephen Turns should be congratulated for writing this book, it is excellent. Covering everything a mechanical engineer would want to know in the areas of Thermodynamics, and heat transfer this book is well written, has plenty of diagrams, excellent examples, and solutions to its problems.
