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 principal modes: conduction, convection (which seamlessly integrates conduction into fluid mechanics), and radiation. The significance of these three transfer methods has warranted the allocation of dedicated volumes, each exploring their intricacies in depth. Convection, in particular, has been given its own separate treatment, with the subject further divided into two volumes.

This third volume, devoted to convection, delves into the fundamental principles governing convective transfers. A wide range of perspectives are explored to provide a comprehensive understanding of this topic. Empirical relationships, analytical approaches encompassing boundary layers, including integral methods and numerical methodologies, are all considered to shed light on the complexities of heat transfer. While the focus of this work does not aim to be an exhaustive treatise on heat exchangers, a brief introduction is provided to highlight their importance and applications.

Heat Transfer 3 strikes a perfect balance between a basic introduction and a deeper exploration of the discipline. This book appeals to a diverse audience, spanning from technicians and engineers to doctoral students and esteemed teacher-researchers. Its comprehensive nature and accessible style make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their knowledge and understanding of heat transfer principles.
