Principles of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning with Worked Examples by by Nihal E. Wijeysundera.  Courses in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) are usually offered in departments of mechanical engineering, civil engineering, architecture and building science. This book is written mainly with the interests of students and instructors in these departments in mind. However, a significant part of the contents may be used in courses such as, thermal systems and heat transfer, especially the worked examples. Practicing engineers could use this book to clarify the fundamental principles behind various design procedures recommended in professional handbooks.
