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 blanks 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 code and also flow simulation based analysis.

In surface engineering, the probe is considered the most powerful non-destructive technique used to understand active and passive surfaces and interfaces. Answering the need for a resource on fabrication specifications and analytical standards, this volume is the first complete source of information on the Kelvin probe. While the equipment can be easily fabricated, until now engineers have lacked ready access to what this text provides: systematic documentation on design and fabrication. Just as significantly, this authoritative volume also explains how to interpret Kelvin probe data. It guides readers through the basics of design and builds their capacity for analysis through the use of case studies.
