The WileyASME Press Series in Mechanical Engineering brings together two established leaders in mechanical engineering publishing to deliver highquality, peerreviewed books covering topics of current interest to engineers and researchers worldwide. The series publishes across the breadth of mechanical engineering, comprising research, design and development, and manufacturing. It includes monographs, references, and course texts. Prospective topics include emerging and advanced technologies in engineering design, computeraided design, energy conversion and resources, heat transfer, manufacturing and processing, systems and devices, renewable energy, robotics, and biotechnology.

I have been fascinated by thermoscience fields from childhood on. Simple observations such as the motions of a flying kite, bubbles rising in a boiling kettle, a leaf floating on the surface of a lake, the force you need to get the ketchup out of its bottle, and so on encouraged me to strive to understand the science behind these and many more natural phenomena that are governed by fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. In college and in real engineering life, I learned that knowing only the governing equations in these vast scientific fields, and studying how they evolved and learning by heart their dependent and independent variables, was only the starting point in solving the engineering problems.

Making correct assumptions while using governing equations, using the correct thermophysical properties, and applying the right experimental results to different physical conditions are crucial in approaching the solution of problems in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. I gained experience in these fields as I tackled more and more problems. Even with today's highspeed computational solutions to intricate, coupled, and nonlinear partial differential equations, you have to be experienced in the assumptions you make for governing equations and their boundary conditions, the thermophysical properties you can use, and the experimental data you apply.
