Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Analysis and Design 6th Edition

This book is extremely informative, above beginners level for the subjects covered, but, with perseverance and practise (which is what you need) when learning a subject will pay great dividends. It covers in depth areas which many books on these subjects gloss over, but, if you want to understand and talk with authority on these matters then this is one of the books to get.

Book came in excellent condition as a used text. This book is a perfect fit for learning the engineering basics of HVAC. It is easy to read and understand the material presented. The publisher also offers a website with useful aids, examples and software to suppliment and keep current all the material presented.

There was talk from the professor/author that inferior copies, paperback and international versions were everywhere in the market, so care was advised when ordering. This was one of the least expensive used books I could find and was hard bound, current edition in excellent condition. Even had the code for the Wiley site inside. An impressive find. If it had come with a box of courtesy donuts, I would have given 5 stars.

Thanks a lot . I received the book as the same as its description . It was awesome experience. Iwould definitely recommend it .

...you could probably get a better HVAC book than this if you made the monkeys into gladiators and had an interpretive dance instructor record their combat movements as text. You could probably even skip the typewriters entirely and save yourself the maintenance costs. By far the worst textbook that I have owned throughout my mechanical engineering classes. Concepts are poorly explained and inconsistently detailed. Equations frequently fail to define any variables at all, or better yet include conversions within them to discourage the use of dimensionally homogeneous units. Sometimes variables are named and defined with functions, only to have the text inconspicuously declare a few pages later that a different variable will be used in its place henceforth. Some chapters provide multiple tables without fully defining what property the values actually are. Other chapters use tables that neglect to say what the data points even are until many pages later. Equations are occasionally outright wrong, such as "(1/E) - (1/e1) + (1/e2) - 1e", which can be found on page 132. Chapter six provides two tables for the conductance of air but fails to declare whether either of them is accounting for radiant, convective, or conductive heat. Diagrams and their corresponding text are frequently on entirely different pages. I got a 3.5 in both fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, and find myself referring to those textbooks far more often than I do this one.I would rather the world freeze to death for lack of heating than give another $180 to what I can only assume is a gang of clowns whos knowledge of the topic fails to extend beyond applying the ideal gas law to balloon animals.

This book gives you all you need to know about HVAC systems in buildings and how they interact witht the rest of the building's systems. Must have for any Mechanical Engineer!

Appreciated the immediate delivery. Had previously ordered the text from another (cheaper) source, but after waiting 14 days, gave up because of lost in mail delivery. Cost a little more, but delivery response was great.

Excellent
