520 _a"Thermodynamics and Fluid dynamics are two of the most important branches of Physics and they have a great extent of applications in daily life. Thermodynamics is the science of energy transfer and the effect of their transfer on the physical properties of substances. It is based upon observations of common experiments which have been formulated into laws. The applications of thermodynamics are found in all fields including and not limited to power plant, IC engines, refrigerators, air conditioners, and fuel cells. All of these devices make use of heat to achieve useful work and vice versa. By the way, in physics and engineering viewpoint, fluid dynamics is a sub-category of fluid mechanics which deals with the flow of fluids (liquids and gases) [1] . It has in itself a lot of divisions, such as aerodynamics (the study of gases in motion, especially air) and hydrodynamics (the study of liquids-in particular water - in motion) [1]"-- Back cover.
