Summary

Heat Transferis a comprehensive textbook aimed at undergraduate students of mechanical, chemical, metallurgical, and aerospace engineering. It will also serve as a useful text to postgraduate students specializing in thermal sciences, practising engineers, and researchers.The book provides an exhaustive coverage of two and three-dimensional heat conduction, forced and free convection, boiling heat transfer, computer methods in heat transfer, and heat exchangers. The main emphasis is on the understanding of fundamental concepts and their application to complex problems. Its treatment of topics such as solar radiation and greenhouse effect and the application of computational heat transfer to medical surgery make it contemporary as well as informative.Written in a lucid style, the book contains a large number of solved and unsolved problems to make for a student-friendly book. A large number of illustrations aid the explanations provided in the text.BLEmphasizes the fundamental concepts with easy-to-understand mathematicsBLProvides detailed solution methodologiesBLIncludes a detailed coverage of the computer methods in heat transferBLReinforces theoretical concepts through numerous solved examplesBLIncludes a CD-ROM containing programs for computer methods.
