This book is simple and straightforward. There are good problem sets that reinforce the major points of each chapter.

Airflow in Ducts was a very valuable book for our students here at J&J Air Conditioning. I found the book very concise and clear to technician-level students and was a great help to teaching the subject. Although fluid dynamics (including airflow) is a complicated subject, this training book presented the material in such a way that persons who do not normally use such technology were interested and excited to apply it in their work.
