Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics, 4th edition, (PDF) is the definitive guide to this complex topic, from one of the world’s leading experts in the field. Professor Adrian Bejan provides authoritative guidance on the first and second laws of thermodynamics, with a practical focus on applications within engineering fields. Expanding on the basic

As aircraft flew faster, higher, and farther in the early days of flight, pilots were exposed as inefficient, vulnerable, and dangerous. They asphyxiated or got the bends at high altitudes; they spiraled to the ground after encountering clouds or fog; they fainted during high-G maneuvers Their capacity to commit fatal

Organized to reflect the syllabi in many pharmacology courses and in integrated curricula, Katzung’s Basic and Clinical Pharmacology 14th Edition (PDF) covers the important concepts college students need to know about the science of pharmacology and its application to clinical practice. Selection of the subject matter and order of its

Steel, timber and concrete are common engineering materials used in structural design. Material choice depends upon the availability of material, type of structure, and the preference of the designer. The design practices the code requirements of every material are very different. In Principles of Structural Design: Wood, Steel, and Concrete,

Interval Finite Element Method with MATLAB (PDF) provides a thorough introduction to an effective way of investigating problems involving uncertainty using computational modeling. The versatile and well-known Finite Element Method (FEM) is combined with the concept of interval uncertainties to develop the Interval Finite Element Method (IFEM). An interval or
