Synopsis

Now you can learn the principles of heat transfer using the classic that sets the standard of coverage and organization for all other heat transfer texts. Following the recommendations of the ASME Committee on Heat Transfer Education, Kreith/Manglik's PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TRANSFER, 8E provides a comprehensive engineering approach that is ideal for your study of heat transfer. This relevant book recognizes that in today's world, computational analysis is more critical than rote mathematical solutions to heat transfer problems. However, the authors also incorporate an effective analytic approach that offers a clear understanding of the physics involved and equips you with the tools for analyzing more complex problems. The book emphasizes applications to current engineering challenges in renewable energy, bioengineering, microelectronics, materials processing, and space exploration to arm you with the practical knowledge you need for success.

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Frank Kreith was Professor Emeritus in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Science from the University of Paris in 1965. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), a Fellow and Honorary Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and recipient of the ASME Medal. His areas of interest included heat transfer, thermal engineering, and solar engineering. He was a consultant in the field of heat transfer engineering in many parts of the world. The ASME International established "The Frank Kreith Energy Award" in 2005 in recognition of his contributions to the field of renewable energy and heat transfer.

Dr. Raj. M. Manglik is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a senior member of both the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). He has received many honors and recognitions for seminal research, teaching and educational enterprise, and professional engineering service. His areas of interest are enhancement of heat transfer, interfacial and transport phenomena, and thermal science and energy engineering. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer.

Review

"The organization is excellent as is, and follows very naturally...The subject matter is complicated but it is presented very well for the students to understand...The material follows very logically, and the organization is great...Knowing the impatience of Engineering students, I find that this material is by no means 'dry.' It is sufficiently spiked and spiced with Engineering examples so that a good Professor can easily use it to present the subject without the entire class getting bored."

"Authors' approach as outlined in the preface is excellent. Having a summary of new concepts at the beginning of the chapter is helpful to the students. The authors present many examples of practical systems and show how such systems can be analyzed by appropriate engineering models. They have shown students how to go from a practical system to a simplified engineering model to application of heat transfer principles to analyze the model very well. All the problems and examples in this book deal with real-life engineering systems. Many problems deals with topics of current interest (for example, renewable energy)... the material is very well presented and ample examples are provided that students can relate to."
