What is included with this book?
Concise introduction to heat transfer, with a focus on worked example problems to aid in reader comprehension and student learning
Heat Transfer Basics covers the essential topics of heat transfer in a focused manner, starting with an introduction to heat transfer that explains its relationship to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and continuing onto key topics such as free convection, boiling and condensation, radiation, heat exchangers, and more, for an overall accessible and reader-friendly yet comprehensive treatment of the subject.
Each chapter features multiple worked out example problems, including derivations of key governing equations and comparisons of worked solutions with computer modeled results, which helps students become familiar with the types of problems they will encounter in the field. Throughout the book, figures and diagrams liberally illustrate the concepts discussed and practice problems allow students to test their understanding of the content. The text is accompanied by an online instructor’s manual.
Heat Transfer Basics includes information on:
More advanced than the introductory textbooks yet not as overwhelming as more advanced textbooks targeted at specialists, Heat Transfer Basics is ideal for students in Introductory and advanced heat transfer courses who do not intend to specialize in heat transfer, and a helpful reference for advanced students and practicing engineers.
