Description
The de facto standard text for heat transfer - noted for its readability, comprehensiveness and relevancy. Now revised to include clarified learning objectives, chapter summaries and many new problems. The fourth edition, like previous editions, continues to support four student learning objectives, desired attributes of any first course in heat transfer: Learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer. Use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures. Develop representative models of real processes and systems and draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analysis.
