Matlab: A Practical Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving,
2nd Edition
Stormy Attaway
ISBN: 978-0-12-385081-2
Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variables, assignments, input/output, and selection statements, moves onto loops and then solves problems using both the 'programming concept' and the 'power of MATLAB' side-by-side. In-depth coverage is given to input/output, a topic that is fundamental to many engineering applications... [more]

Combustion,
4th Edition
Irvin Glassman
Richard Yetter
ISBN: 978-0-12-088573-2
Combustion Engineering, a topic generally taught at the upper undergraduate and graduate level in most mechanical engineering programs, and many chemical engineering programs, is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physics and chemistry of this process and the engineering applications—from the generation of power such as the internal combustion automobile engine to the gas turbine engine. Renewed concerns about energy efficiency and fuel costs, along with continued concerns over toxic and particulate emissions have kept the interest in this vital area of engineering high and brought about new developments in both fundamental knowledge of flame and combustion physics as well as new technologies for flame and fuel control...

Transport Phenomena in Multiphase Systems
Amir Faghri
Yuwen Zhang
ISBN: 978-0-12-370610-2
Transport phenomena are the physical
forces and processes by which energy and mass are moved into, out
of, and throughout a system. Systems that are changing from one state
(phase) to another, such as liquid to gas, are said to be "multiphase." This
advanced text, for the first time, teaches the fundamentals of transport
phenomena, including the relevant thermodynamics and kinetics, in
the context of multiphase systems. Students will find this an accessible
guide to the understanding of an often dauntingly complex subject,
with ample worked-out examples taken from real-life engineering problems
and helpful end-of-chapter problems to help reinforce abstract concepts... [more]
