Heat Conduction, Fifth Edition

Sadik Kakac has been known as one of the most recognized scientists in the field of heat transfer. He received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1959, and his M.S. in Nuclear Engineering in 1960, both from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his Ph.D. from the Victoria University of Manchester, UK (1965). He has authored and co-authored over 200 scientific papers, as well as leading textbooks and reference works in convective heat transfer, conduction heat transfer, microscale and nanoscale heat transfer, heat exchangers, and heat pipes. He has served as a professor of engineering at the University of Miami (Florida), and the TOBB University of Economics and Engineering (Ankara, Turkey). Carolina P. Naveira-Cotta is a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, specializing in heat transfer. Yaman Yener was a professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at Northeastern University, and a co-author of leading textbooks in convective and conductive heat transfer. Dr. Yener passed away in 2013.
