It shows that highly technical matter can be communicated effectively in a simple yet precise language.

Heat transfer is a sub-field of thermal engineering, which deals with the generation, conversion, use and exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, advection and radiation. It is crucial for phase transition in a thermodynamic system from one state of matter to the other. Heat transfer has wide applications in insulation, thermal management of electronic devices and systems, materials processing, etc. Mass transfer refers to the net movement of mass from one location to another. It may occur due to the processes of precipitation, absorption, evaporation, distillation, etc. Mass transfer is used widely in separations engineering, reaction engineering, heat transfer engineering, etc. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of heat and mass transfer. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and studies have been included in this book. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.

This book provides a solid foundation in the principles of heat and mass transfer and shows how to solve problems by applying modern methods. The basic theory is developed systematically, exploring in detail the solution methods to all important problems. The revised second edition incorporates state-of-the-art findings on heat and mass transfer correlations. The book will be useful not only to upper- and graduate-level students, but also to practicing scientists and engineers. Many worked-out examples and numerous exercises with their solutions will facilitate learning and understanding, and an appendix includes data on key properties of important substances.

This bestselling 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 develops reader confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis. Readers will learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer as well as how to use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures.

Completely updated, the seventh edition provides engineers with an in-depth look at the key concepts in the field. It incorporates new discussions on emerging areas of heat transfer, discussing technologies that are related to nanotechnology, biomedical engineering and alternative energy. The example problems are also updated to better show how to apply the material. And as engineers follow the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology, they'll gain an appreciation for the richness and beauty of the discipline.

Heat Transfer Principles and Applications is a welcome change from more encyclopedic volumes exploring heat transfer. This shorter text fully explains the fundamentals of heat transfer, including heat conduction, convection, radiation and heat exchangers. The fundamentals are then applied to a variety of engineering examples, including topics of special and current interest like solar collectors, cooling of electronic equipment, and energy conservation in buildings. The text covers both analytical and numerical solutions to heat transfer problems and makes considerable use of Excel and MATLAB(R) in the solutions. Each chapter has several example problems and a large, but not overwhelming, number of end-of-chapter problems.
