With complete coverage of the basic principles of heat transfer along with a broad range of applications in a flexible format, Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach, provides the perfect blend of fundamentals and applications. This lavishly illustrated text provides a highly intuitive and practical understanding of the material by emphasizing the physics and the underlying physical phenomena involved. Using a reader-friendly approach and a conversational writing style, the book is self-instructive and entertains while it teaches. It shows that highly technical matter can be communicated effectively in a simple yet precise language.
Careful attention is paid to the presentation of the basic theory. â Enhanced sections throughout text provide much firmer foundation than the first edition. â Literature citations are given throughout for reference to additional material.
"This book is a true introduction to transport phenomena that presents all basic principles with a minimum of mathematical complexity. Readers will only need to know the basics of differential equations, and how to use a differential equation solver such as MATLAB or ACSL." "Professor William J. Thomson emphasizes the formulation of differential equations to describe physical problems, helping readers understand what they are doing - and why. The solutions are either simple (separable, linear second order) or derivable with a differential equation solver."--BOOK JACKET.
A thorough introduction to balance equation concepts. Geared for the course offered to chemical engineering majors in their sophomore year. Develops a framework for the analysis of flowsheet problem information with extensive use of degree-of-freedom analysis. Presents systematic approaches for manual and computer-aided solution of full scale balance problems. Provides a detailed development of the structure, properties, and interrelationships of species and element balances based on the algebraic view of reaction-stoichiometry and the rate of reaction concept.
