Handbook of Single-Phase Convective Heat Transfer ** 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING **

The field of heat transfer has grown enormously in the past 20 years--it is nearly impossible for one person to maintain expertise in more than a handful of the major subfields of the subject. This volume is the most extensive compilation of engineering and design data and reliable information ever published in this field. It is the result of the efforts of over two dozen specialists, who cover the subject of single-phase convective heat transfer to a considerable depth, bringing together research and design information which appears in almost all types of heat transfer equipment. Chapters cover the governing equations of convective heat transfer, boundary layer conditions for laminar and turbulent flow, the capabilities of computational procedures, turbulent flows in ducts, cross and longitudinal flow, heat transfer with electric and magnetic fields, transient response of duct flows, mixed convection in external flows, heat transfer by radiation and convection, non-Newtonian fluids, and much more.
