Product Description This text has been very successful in previous editions due to its clear explanations of both process-oriented topics of thermal energy engineering and system-oriented practices. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated, reflecting the impact of micro-computers on engineering, and including a greater emphasis on linear programming. | ||

Excellent Text On Applied Optimization Methods Excellent introductory text on the various mathematical methods used to optimize thermal systems. Example problems with solutions in each chapter quickly reinforce the concepts discussed. Answers to most of the problems are a beneficial aid in helping the student arrive at the correct solution rather than stumbling down a blind alley. There could be more depth in the discussion of thermal systems and design concepts but overall the tradeoff between optimization methods and design concepts is good. | ||
Great for starting to design any type system.. I was taught from edition one of this book back in the early 70's. Once the second edition came out I jumped at it and was not disappointed. The third edition came out in 1989 and I got it at once. Now I hope Professor Stoecker is still working on a fourth edition so that I can also get it. This is the best book I have ever seen to help someone understand the in's and out's of design; any design, from system concept to system completion. I can't say enough about this book. The optimization subjects are as simple to understand as came be made with excellent explanations. | ||
