DESCRIPTION:
The authors did a very good job incorporating computations side-by-side with the theory. This is a suitable textbook for first- and second-level courses, where the instructor wants to use computational tools, as well as a reference book for practicing engineers." - Kemal Tuzla, Lehigh University, ChE Dvision of ASEE . "This is a very interesting and important new textbook on heat transfer significantly raises the bar for heat transfer text booksa major contribution to education in the field of heat transfer."- Ralph L. Webb, Penn State University, Heat Transfer Engineering"this is a very good heat transfer book with a lot of emphasis on use of computational methods
The examples in the book are ubiquitous, not trivial "textbook" exercises. It includes many advanced topics, such as Bessel functions, Laplace transforms, separation of variables, Duhamel's theorem, and complex combination, as well as high order explicit and implicit numerical integration algorithms. Examples are heat exchangers involving fluids with varying specific heats or phase changes; heat exchangers in which axial conduction is a concern; and regenerators. They are rather complex and timely real-world problems that are inherently interesting. To improve readability, derivations of important results are presented completely, without skipping steps, which reduces student frustration and improves retention. The single objective of this book is to provide engineers with the capability, tools, and confidence to solve real-world heat transfer problems. These analytical and numeri
Professor Klein is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); and the American Solar Energy Society (ASES). In addition, he is also actively involved in the development of engineering computer tools for both instruction and research. Professor Nellis received his MS and PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Best Textbook I've Ever Owned I've had a lot of good, bad, and everything in between when it comes to text books. This book is by far one of the best if not the best I have owned.Reading it makes you feel like the author is sitting down and talking with you, from simple concepts to complex derivations. It can get very technical for all the people that like to read between the lines and learn the complex theory and proofs, but at the same time it has many examples and appl. Great book Jan In my opinion the best current book on heat transfer.. a good heat transfer textbook SM It's a very good heat transfer textbook. It's well written, readable, and very through. It can be pretty dense. It has a *lot* of good worked example problems and examples of how to use software packages like EES, Maple, and Matlab. The software examples are helpful especially because they show how to work all the way through tricky problems, not just details of how to use specific commands.
