MIT Course Notes free on internet @ (ocw.mit.edu) include notes on thermodynamics & heat transfer.
Hi all,
While some of the math may be beyond some such as myself, I discovered that MIT has made many of their course lecture notes available free on the internet at (ocw.mit.edu).
For the subject of cooling, you may be interested in looking at the following url
http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Aeronautics-and-Astronautics/16-050Thermal-EnergyFall2002/LectureNotes/index.htm
Which provides the engineering story on thermodynamics, with the last pdf on thermodynamics of heat exchangers.
This does not provide cookbook answers, but there are some good analogies to electrical circuits (i.e. Ohm's law, etc.) which simplify some of the math. So if anyone want's to follow in Ed's EDDIE footsteps, this might be a good starting point.
There are many other areas covered under the aeronautics faculty, including structural design. So for the frustrated engineers in the crowd, this seems like a great educational resource.
Cheers.......Gary
