Review
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This book provides a fundamental presentation of mathematical and physical principles of thermodynamics of fluids under flow, pointing out the most important theoretical and practical applications. The book is well written. Results of numerical solutions are given in many graphs and tables. The book will be useful to specialists working in thermodynamics, heat transfer, gas dynamics, polymer applications, etc. The book can also be recommended as a text for seminars, courses and independent study.” (Ioan Pop, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1218, 2011)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
