This comprehensive textbook offers a thorough exploration of the principles and applications of heat transfer, placing a strong emphasis on understanding the underlying physics of the subject. The chapters on convective heat transfer, in particular, highlight this emphasis, providing a deep dive into the complex dynamics of fluid flow and heat transfer processes.
Furthermore, the book delves into the solution of steady and unsteady two-dimensional heat conduction problems, presenting practical methodologies and techniques for addressing these complex thermal issues.
Another notable aspect of this textbook is its dedicated chapter on the introduction to design of heat exchangers, encompassing both theoretical concepts and practical design considerations. This chapter serves as a valuable resource for students pursuing careers in mechanical engineering, as it equips them with the necessary skills to design and optimize heat exchangers for various applications.
In addition to its technical content, the book incorporates a simple and understandable treatment of gaseous radiation, a crucial aspect of heat transfer in many industrial processes. A special chapter on flat plate solar air heaters has also been incorporated, providing a comprehensive overview of mathematical modeling and design principles for these energy-efficient heating systems.
The chapter on mass transfer is specifically tailored to meet the needs of mechanical engineering students, offering a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of mass transfer in various systems. Numerous solved problems with supporting line diagrams are included to facilitate a better understanding of the concepts, while application-based examples further reinforce the theoretical principles.
To enhance the learning experience, the book includes a substantial number of end-of-chapter exercise problems accompanied by stepwise answers. These problems not only test students' understanding of the material but also encourage them to apply the knowledge gained in practical scenarios.
While primarily designed as a complete textbook for undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical engineering, this book also holds value for students studying chemical, aerospace, automobile, production, and industrial engineering streams. Its comprehensive coverage of heat transfer topics makes it an excellent reference for students preparing for competitive graduate examinations.
In conclusion, this textbook is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of heat transfer principles and applications. Its emphasis on physics, practical design considerations, and application-oriented examples make it an essential tool for students, professionals, and researchers in the field.
