Summary
Summary
Extensively revised and thoroughly updated, this popular text de-emphasizes high level mathematics in favor of effective, accurate modeling. Real-world examples amplify the theory and show how to use derived equations to model physical problems. Exercises that parallel the examples build readers' confidence and prepare them to confront the more complex situations they encounter as professionals.

Choice Review
Naterer (Univ. of Manitoba) offers yet another attempt to present heat transfer to undergraduate and graduate engineering students, especially those in mechanical engineering. The book has five main parts: "Introduction," "Single Phase Heat Transfer," "Multiphase Heat Transfer," "Heat Exchangers," and "Computational Heat Transfer." Fundamentals of heat transfer are covered in the introduction. Conduction, convection, and radiation in single-phase systems are presented in the second part, and multiphase systems make up the third part. Heat exchangers are discussed separately in the fourth part and computational heat transfer in the fifth part. All chapters are well written with good solved examples and practice problems at the end of each chapter. Some topics are overemphasized, e.g., thermodynamics, especially the second law and entropy, and also turbulence. Some topics are given little or no mention at all: radiative heat transfer, optics, combustion, evaporation, crystallization, drying, heat exchanger networks, compact heat exchangers, electronic cooling, and energy transfer in biological systems. Overall, a good work for academic institutions and handy reference for practicing engineers. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals. P. C.
