From Book News, Inc.
A textbook for a first course in heat transfer. The fourth edition (third was 1990) includes additional open-ended, design-oriented problems; provides for an optional Windows-based software (Interactive Heat Transfer) integrated with the text; and adds new material on the first law, one-dimensional steady-state conduction with generation, extended surfaces, and semi-infinite media. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Book Description
Systematic problem-solving methodology.- Extensive use of first law thermodynamics.
- Finite Element Heat Transfer (FEHT) program w/ printed user's guide--A new software program (from the makers of EES) that solves 2D and transient conduction problems.
Book Info
New updated edition. A significant number of open-ended problems which the author believes will enhance student interest in heat transfer, have been added. DLC: Heat - Transmission. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Rating 4.5
Excellent bookThe book is very useful for students or engineers who want to have a heat and mass transfer book at hand. I am a student and want to find a good book about heat and mass transfer, after buying this book using a discount from coupons-center.com and used it for 3 months, I found this book is very helpful when I am studying. It not only teaches you the basic knowledge, but also list a lot of good examples which are easily understood. I learned a lot from this book.GR8 book for the NOVICEThis book is one of the best I have ever read for all my courses I had in my ME curriculum.
Heat transfer is a very interesting phenomena and I didnt know about it till I was introduced to this courses. All the various modes of heat transfer-conduction,convection and radiation give you a better insight about normal day physics, I shud say.....
As far as the book is concerned, its great in fact its written by one of our Professor's Dewitt here at Purdue.. Yeah but he doenst teach anymore too bad:(
enjoy this subject!Excellent Heat X-Fer but So-So Mass X-FerI used this textbook for a few years when teaching a course in heat and mass transfer. The heat transfer parts are some of the best I've seen. Very clear explanations and great diagrams. The mass transfer material is not all that great. The authors are mechanical engineers but mass transfer is really the domain of chemical engineers. They're not as often clear (or even totally correct) in the mass transfer sections. There used to be a heat transfer only version of this textbook which might be a better buy. For mass transfer I would use any established chemical engineering textbook.
