Synopsis

Based on the engineering curriculum, heat and mass transfer data book gives a holistic coverage on the subject of heat and mass transfer. The book is well organised in terms of the topics. The calculations are well explained with the help of the formulae required. Chapters like convection, boiling, radiation, conduction, mass transfer and condensation are presented in a table along with their s i units respectively. The three property values for various materials--liquids, solids and gases--are explained in detail, at different temperatures. This is an ideal book for students pursuing chemical and mechanical engineering. The use of empirical relationships are mentioned along with the pros and cons of using them. The book covers pure elements and building and insulating materials as well. With illustrative tables and relevant notations supporting the heat transfer correlations, heat and mass transfer data book explains conduction in unsteady and steady states and in natural and forced states quite well. Long and complex equations have charts complementing the explanation. The book is multi-coloured and is apt for teachers and practitioners. The book also includes radiation information for solar radiation and surface tables for convection under various flow configurations. The eighth edition of the book was published by new age international publisher in 2014 and is available in paperback.
