DESCRIPTION:
This extensive work contains more than an adequate amount of information for two courses at this level. The classical principles and methods are presented in a clear and detailed manner, and the many examples are helpful in explaining the methods–Choice, March 2006
Very nice book It is very useful to me. It is better for me if his codes are in Fortran directly.But pseudo codes are also useful. It is a good book for the beginners as well.It is better if the author gave the correction on his website because there area couple of errors especially in equation numbers.. well written for a first edition M. Athar This book is well written, and well organized, but RIDDLED with typos.Dr. Majumdar uses a differential control volume approach, and shows one derivation per "concept" It's incredibly powerful, and versatile. Familiarity with this book prepares the reader for writing his/her own CFD software. There is even pseudocode for various CFD problems!BUT the problem is that one derivation isn't enough for students at the undergrad level. This is a GREAT book for the motivated graduate student that is willing to work through the derivations that are omitted.
Others who will find it a useful resource include practicing engineers and scientists developing their own codes and using commercial codes for the analysis and design of processes and products involving heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics.. Computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer, as well as finite element codes, are standard tools in the computer-aided design and analysis of processes and products involving coupled transport and multi-physic phenomena. Students taking independent study can use the text as a comprehensive reference guide. End-of-chapter problems are provided at the end of every chapter for extra practice and homework assignments.The book is divided into three parts: Part One contains a review of basic equations of heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid dynamics; concepts of numerical approximations and errors; numerical solution techniques for systems of linear algebraic equations; and numerical integrations and quadrature formulas. The objective of the book is to help the students thoroughly understand the basic concepts and procedures of fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer and implement computational methodology into a computer code and solve more complex problems on their own. As an introductory text, this book is appropriate for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate level courses. The advent of high-speed computers has encouraged a growing
