Thermal System Design and Simulation - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

P L Dhar taught in the mechanical engineering department of IIT Delhi for over thirty six years. His research focused on Thermal System Simulation and Design, spanning a wide range from refrigeration to thermal power plant systems. Based on this work, he developed a post graduate course with the same title and taught it for over two decades. Besides this, he also taught thermodynamics, refrigeration and air-conditioning, heat and mass transfer to undergraduate and post graduate students.
