Abstract
The principles of thermodynamics often must be combined with those of other fields to analyze and/or design significant engineering devices. For example, the disciplines of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are combined into what is sometimes called thermofluid mechanics. This chapter provides a brief introduction to the principles of fluid mechanics and then illustrates the application of thermofluid mechanics through the use of such devices as jet-propulsion nozzles and diffusers, fluid meters, and turbomachinery (turbines and compressors).
