Heat Transfer

A thorough understanding of heat exchange within a system, or between that system and its surroundings, is essential to the efficient design of machines and thermodynamic processes. This book, Heat Transfer, comprehensively explains the three divisions of such energy transfer: conduction, radiation and convection.
The book covers the latest techniques and developments in energy transfer, takes a new approach to the study of radiation, introduces actual turbulent convection methods for industrial use, explains the critical coupling between convection and radiation in semi-transparent media, and provides data (Part 5) and real-world applications (Part 6) for realistic modelling.
As a core text for mainstream courses in the subject, this book will do much to enhance the study of heat transfer. It can be used on a wide range of courses in departments of mechanical, chemical, process, aeronautical and marine engineering and physics.
