and Thermal SystemsAbstract In designing an energy system such as a steam power plant or a solar water heating system,an engineer is required to select and size many different components such as pumps, turbines,and solar panels. Proper selection and sizing of these components require understanding ofmaterials covered in basic engineering science courses such as thermodynamics, heat transfer,and fluid mechanics. Moreover, the engineer must have knowledge and understanding of theoverall system, the role of each component in the system design, and the interactions amongdifferent components. In addition, the selection and sizing process must conform to and followindustry standards and recommendations. As a result, many manufacturers provide

Second, writingthe text was a collaboration between university engineering and education faculty with input fromCK12 personnel; this collaboration has led to a textbook structure that supports constructivistapproaches to learning. Third, the text conforms to a draft K–12 standard for engineering content.CK12 is a non-profit foundation launched in 2007 to reduce the cost of textbooks for the K–12
