Essentials Of Heat Transfer

This is a modern, example-driven introductory textbook on heat transfer, with modern applications, written by a renowned scholar.

Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer focuses only on the essential topics required to gain an understanding of radiation heat transfer to enable the reader to master more challenging problems. The strength of the book lies in its elaborate presentation of the powerful radiosity-irradiation method and shows how this technique can be used to solve a variety of problems of radiation in enclosures made of one to any number of surfaces in both transparent and participating media. The book also introduces atmospheric radiation in which engineers can contribute to the technology of remote sensing and atmospheric sciences in general, by a better understanding of radiation. The author has included pedagogical features such as end-of-chapter exercises and worked examples with varying degrees of difficulty to augment learning and self-testing. The book has been written in an easy- to- follow conversational style to enhance reader engagement and learning outcomes. This book will be a useful guide for upper undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, atmospheric sciences, and energy sciences.

Heat Transfer Essentials is a focused and concise one semester textbook with synchronized PowerPoint lectures, solutions and tutoring material designed for online posting. Its distinguishing features are: - Essential Topics. Critical elements ofheat transfer arejudicially selected and organized for coverage in a one semester introductory course. Topics include conduction, convection and radiation. - PowerPoint Lectures. PowerPoint presentations are synchronized with the textbook. This eliminates the need for lecture preparation and blackboard use by the instructor and note taking by students. - Interactive Classroom Environment. Eliminating blackboard use and note taking liberates both instructor and students. More time can be devoted to engaging students to encourage thinking and understanding through discussion and dialog. - Problem Solving Methodology. Students are drilled in a systematic and logical procedure for solving engineering problems. The book emphasizes though process, modeling, approximation, checking and evaluation of results. Students can apply this methodology in other courses as well as throughout their careers. - Special Problems. Mini-projects involving open ended design considerations and others requiring computer solutions are included. - Home Experiments. A unique set of simple heat transfer experiments designed to be cawied out at home are described. Comparing experimental results with theoretical predictions serves as an effective learning tool.. - Online Solutions Manual. Solutions to problems are intended to serve as an important learning instrument. They follow the problem solving methodology format and are designed for onlineposting. - Online Tutor. A summary of each chapter is prepared for posting. Key points and critical conditions are highlighted and emphasized. - Online Homework Facilitator. To assist students in solving homework problems, helpful hints and relevant observations are compiled for each problem. They can be selectively posted by the instructor. - Outstanding Title. The first edition was selected by Choice: Current Reviewsfor Academic Libraries among its outstanding titles in 2000.

The book provides an easy way to understand the fundamentals of heat transfer. The reader will acquire the ability to design and analyze heat exchangers. Without extensive derivation of the fundamentals, the latest correlations for heat transfer coefficients and their application are discussed. The following topics are presented - Steady state and transient heat conduction - Free and forced convection - Finned surfaces - Condensation and boiling - Radiation - Heat exchanger design - Problem-solving After introducing the basic terminology, the reader is made familiar with the different mechanisms of heat transfer. Their practical application is demonstrated in examples, which are available in the Internet as MathCad files for further use. Tables of material properties and formulas for their use in programs are included in the appendix. This book will serve as a valuable resource for both students and engineers in the industry. The author’s experience indicates that students, after 40 lectures and exercises of 45 minutes based on this textbook, have proved capable of designing independently complex heat exchangers such as for cooling of rocket propulsion chambers, condensers and evaporators for heat pumps.

Equips students with the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence to solve real-world heat transfer problems using EES, MATLAB, and FEHT.

This best-selling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology, Incropera and Dewitt's systematic approach to the first law develop readers confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis.· Introduction to Conduction· One-Dimensional, Steady-State Conduction· Two-Dimensional, Steady-State Conduction· Transient Conduction· Introduction to Convection· External Flow· Internal Flow· Free Convection· Boiling and Condensation· Heat Exchangers· Radiation: Processes and Properties· Radiation Exchange Between Surfaces· Diffusion Mass Transfer

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 7th Edition is the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for more than 30 years, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors having more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology pioneered by this text, it is abundantly filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition maintains its foundation in the four central learning objectives for students and also makes heat and mass transfer more approachable with an additional emphasis on the fundamental concepts, as well as highlighting the relevance of those ideas with exciting applications to the most critical issues of today and the coming decades: energy and the environment. An updated version of Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software makes it even easier to efficiently and accurately solve problems.
