Heat, a captivating branch of thermodynamics, holds a distinct position in the realm of practical applications. Its intricate connections with the management, transportation, and exchange of energy in thermal form permeate every facet of human existence and endeavors. Heat transfers, by their very nature, can be categorized into three fundamental modes: conduction, convection (which seamlessly integrates conduction into fluid mechanics), and radiation. The significance of these three transfer methods has warranted the allocation of a dedicated volume to each, reflecting their immense importance. This inaugural volume, specifically devoted to thermal conduction, adopts an analytical approach to address the challenges at hand, while also revisiting the foundational principles. Heat Transfer 1 strikes a harmonious balance between a basic understanding and a profound grasp of the discipline, making it an appealing resource for a diverse audience, ranging from technicians to engineers, from doctoral students to esteemed teacher-researchers.
