The Essentials Of Heat Transfer 2

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

REA’s Essentials provide quick and easy access to critical information in a variety of different fields, ranging from the most basic to the most advanced. As its name implies, these concise, comprehensive study guides summarize the essentials of the field covered. Essentials are helpful when preparing for exams, doing homework and will remain a lasting reference source for students, teachers, and professionals. Heat Transfer II reviews correlations for forced convection, free convection, heat exchangers, radiation heat transfer, and boiling and condensation.

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.

A graduate-school-level engineering textbook concerning the mechanics of heat transfer.

Includes review of thermodynamic relations, power and refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, and flow through nozzles and blade passages.

This book provides an overall view of energy conversion and management in industry and in buildings by following the streams of energy from the site boundaries to the end users. Written for an audience of both practitioners and faculty/students, Energy Conversion and Management: Principles and Applications presents general principles of energy conversion and energy sources, both traditional and renewable, in a broad range of facilities such as electrical substations, boiler plants, heat and power plants, electrical networks, thermal fluid distributions lines and insulations, pumps and fans, air compressor systems, cooling plants, HVAC, lighting, and heat recovery plants. The book also examines principles of energy auditing and accounting, the correlation between energy and environment, and includes detail on the economic analysis of energy saving investment and education in the field of energy. This book also: · Explores a broad array of power generation and distribution facilities around the concept of energy conversion, from traditional and renewable sources, correlating many apparently disparate topics · Elucidates fundamental formulas and information-rich figures to help readers in solving any practical energy conversion problems · Emphasizes a holistic perspective on energy conversion and management with a vision of each application as a system beyond its individual elements · Includes a set of Key Performance Index using metrics applicable to energy systems brought into operation over the past 30 years · Gives a set of basic formulas and data that are the essentials of energy conversion and that everybody involved in these fields should perfectly know · Adopts a writing style accessible to technicians and managers in the field of energy conversion while maintaining sufficient rigor and coverage for engineers

Heat Transfer is a compulsory core course in the curriculum of almost all branches of engineering in several engineering and technical institutions and universities. An outcome of the lecture notes prepared by the author, this book has been prepared primarily for an introductroy course in Heat and Mass Transfer.
