Heat Transfer 3/E

The book is a text on Heat Transfer a subject that is taught to B.E./B. Tech. students of Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy in most engineering colleges. It is also taught at a some what higher level to students doing M. Tech. In Mechanical Engineering. The present book should be useful to both category of students. UG students may leave out advanced topics that lie outside their syllabus. The subject deals with a detailed study of heat transfer by conduction in stationary media by convection in moving media and also by radiation. This book is primarily a text book in Heat Transfer at UG/PG level. The book should also interest practicing engineers who wish to refresh their knowledge in the field. The book presents the various topics in a systematic way starting from first principles. The topics are developed to a fairly advanced level towards the end of each chapter. Several worked examples illustrate the engineering applications of the basic modeling tools developed in the text. The exercises at the end of the book are arranged chapter wise and challenge the reader to tackle typical real life problems in heat transfer. This 3rd edition has been thoroughly revised corrected and augmented with many new topics in addition to those that were in the 2nd edition.
