Summary

Summary

The field of heat transfer has grown enormously in the past 20 years--it is nearly impossible for one person to maintain expertise in more than a handful of the major subfields of the subject. This volume is the most extensive compilation of engineering and design data and reliable information ever published in this field. It is the result of the efforts of over two dozen specialists, who cover the subject of single-phase convective heat transfer to a considerable depth, bringing together research and design information which appears in almost all types of heat transfer equipment. Chapters cover the governing equations of convective heat transfer, boundary layer conditions for laminar and turbulent flow, the capabilities of computational procedures, turbulent flows in ducts, cross and longitudinal flow, heat transfer with electric and magnetic fields, transient response of duct flows, mixed convection in external flows, heat transfer by radiation and convection, non-Newtonian fluids, and much more.

Choice Review

This handbook collects a wide range of engineering design data on convective heat transfer into a concise but comprehensive package. The material was authored by 25 well-recognized specialists in the field, most at academic institutions. It is arranged into 22 chapters that cover the scope of the field. Much information is presented in readily accessible, nondimensional form; equations, figures, diagrams, and tables are numerous and thoughtfully prepared. Among the topics considered are external-flow forced convection including cross-flow and rod bundles; convection in liquid metals; effects of electric and magnetic fields; natural convection in enclosures and porous media, and non-Newtonian transfer. This handbook is clearly destined to be one of the most important resource volumes for convective heat transfer data for many years to come. Technical libraries are strongly encouraged to make it part of their collections.-J.W. Meader, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
