Description:
An introduction to modeling of composite manufacturing processes, this book covers the basic principles of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The book includes example problems solved to facilitate the use of back-of-the-envelope calculations, introducing a scientific basis to manufacturing. The end of each chapter has questions and problems that reinforce the content and fill-in-the-blank sections that will develop the experience base of the manufacturing, materials, and design engineer or scientist. In this new edition, the computer-based solutions were obtained using MATLAB(R) code and also flow simulation based analysis.
