Description:

It is in the fundamentals that this book makes its greatest contribution: the principles and the most fundamental problems come first - they are identified, stated and solved. The book teaches not only structure but also technique. The structure of the field is drawn with very sharp lines: external versus internal convection, forced versus natural convection, combined convection and conduction, and phase change. The book begins with the simplest problem solving method (scale analysis), and moves on to progressively more advanced and exact methods (integral method, self similarity, asymptotic behavior). New to this edition will be; 1) coverage of how convection affects performance, and how…
