Product Description: Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology, this bestselling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Contains hundred of problems and examples dealing with real engineering processes and systems. New open-ended problems add to the increased emphasis on design. Plus, Incropera & DeWitts systematic approach to the first law develops readers confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis. New updated edition. A significant number of open-ended problems which the author believes will enhance student interest in heat transfer, have been added. DLC: Heat - Transmission.
Pretty good overall This text is a pretty good introduction to the subject of heat transfer, and contains a good combination of theoretical treatment as well as practical empirical information (lots of data tables and useful equations etc.). However, the consideration of mass transfer, particularly by diffusion, is very weak. If you are seriously interested in this phenomenon, I would look elsewhere.
Great Book You will not regret investing your money on this one. Textbooks are an investment, and this is a good one. The fact that so many universities have adopted this text suggests how great it is. The only thing i think would make this book even better would be to add an online feature or cd that contains all graphs presented within the book. To solve problems and for general use these graphs are of much importance and having a digital copy of them would mean being able to print them out and scribble on them as much as needed. Other than that, you will enjoy reading this book and if you're like me you won't consider selling it after taking the class. P.S: This won't be the easiest course you will encounter.
Awesome book, very easy to follow This book is very easy to use. all the chapters are well written and very easy to follow. If you want a book that covers heat transfer that is great for a class or great for reference then this is it.
Libro muy útil Este libro lo conocí al cursar la licenciatura en FIMEE, ahora que lo compré opté por la 5a Ed que esta mejorado. Es muy util para asimilar los conceptos y entender los fenómenos. Me gusta mucho por que creo que está muy completo y se explica muy bien. Es un libro que todos los Ing. Mecánicos deben tener. Los ejercicios son muy variados y de amplias aplicaciones, ello permite ver la amplitud de estudio de esta área de la ing. Vale la pena comprarlo (les sugiero la versión en ingles). GUZZZ
The book is so good you can teach yourself This textbook is one of the best I've ever used. Incropera and DeWitt do a great job of explaining convection, conduction, and radiation. I have heard that the mass transfer portion of the book is lacking however, I am an ME major so its not an issue. The covering of conduction is especially good, it goes into great detail math wise although its well presented so you don't have to be a mathematical wizard to follow along. The book goes into a little bit of heat exchanger design, not very much but its a good introduction. If your instructor requires this book for your heat transfer class consider yourself very fortunate.
