Features: This book is a revised and expanded version of lecture notes originally intended for graduate and undergraduate students, written by the author based on over 20 years of teaching and scientific research in the field, as well as extensive collection of domestic and international literature. The book is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the fundamental theories of engineering research, including the basic theories of momentum transfer, heat transfer, and mass transfer. The second part covers engineering research methods, including the International System of Units (SI) and legal metrological units, dimensional analysis, similarity theory, simulation research methods, and the development and design of inorganic non-metallic materials. The third part, based on the author's long-term scientific research practice in the field, presents several engineering research case studies to help readers achieve the ability to apply knowledge to different situations after studying the first and second parts. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in material engineering and related fields, as well as a reference book for engineering technicians engaged in process industry equipment research and design.
