Heat and Mass Transfer, 2/e (SI Edition)(Paperback)

本書序言

●A variety of new features make the learning experience more engaging and interactive.
●Practical features in every chapter apply the content to "doing" engineering.
●A new emphasis on renewable energy and energy efficiency prepares students for engineering practice in the 21st century.
●New information on the history of heat transfer discoveries helps students develop an understanding of the development of the field.

本書特色

●Emphasis is placed on the importance of understanding the physical phenomena involved in a problem, recognizing the modes of heat transfer involved, and, for complicated physical processes, knowing that numerical methods can be used to help reach a realistic solution.
●Chapter-ending student learning aids include a summary, discussion questions, class quiz questions, practice problems, and references.
●Experimental determinations and analytic discussions explore the four primary material properties of heat and mass transfer: thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer coefficient, surface emissivity, and mass diffusivity.
●Efficient coverage of analytical and empirical methods prepares students to assess, design, and solve contemporary engineering problems.
●The book helps students develop an intuitive understanding of the relationship between heat and mass transfer and the disciplines of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
●Especially strong coverage of radiation view factors sets the book apart from other texts available for the course.
●Photos and figures illustrate real industrial processes and relate theoretical presentations with real-world devices.
