Decent book with some major flaws.
By J. C. Kaessinger on February 21, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I purchased this textbook as required course material for undergrad level Heat Transfer.

The book itself is well constructed, although the paper used in the pages is thin and tears easily (unfortunately, this is typical of modern textbooks).Ths binding seems strong enough.

The material in the text is organized, although not as clearly as it could be. Section titles and example problems are well labeled. Reading the book is not enough to learn the material within; material is often presented unclearly and may be poorly worded at times. Example problems help, but they often do not explain what is going on at all steps of the problem, or they skip steps completely.

Practice problems in the text are of acceptable difficulty, and the difficulty range is well balanced. However, no DIY answer key for odd or even problems means that this book is not good for individual use. Additionally, a few problems are missing information reqired to solve them, thus rendering them unusable for practice. Formulas in the book are usually easy to find or tabluated, although chapter summaries with equations are missing. Additionally, parenthesis are not included in many equatuions where they are absolutely neseccary.

Overall, the book is of average quality, with as many flaws as good features. However, many other texts are worse (including older versions of this book), and in reality this text is still usable for teaching purposes.

A solid intro to Heat Transfer
By Silent Scribe on December 8, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I had this book for my heat transfer class this semester and I found the book to be quite helpful. My professor did not really teach from the book and so often times, I used the book as an aid during lectures.

My only disappointment with this book is that it is quite short with examples. You would be thinking that after finishing with a certain important section, there would be a good example to review...but nope.

(Oh also, the book is a POOR conductor of heat...because it is a BOOK!!!)

An excelllent, highly practical book on heat transfer - understandable by students and practitioners
By Umesh Mathur on June 2, 2013
Format: Hardcover
The 6th edition of "Introduction to Heat Transfer" is a classic textbook that continues its tradition by providing a masterful blend of theory and practice in most of the major areas of interest in chemical, mechanical, electrical, aerospace, and other engineering disciplines. For undergraduate students, the level of coverage is generally adequate. At times, it might be somewhat more advanced than their mathematical preparation might allow - for example, the efficiency of circular fins is expressed formally using Bessel functions about which few undergrads know much.

Nevertheless, the book incorporates an enormous amount of detail in a practical and useful manner. In my own experience, as a chemical engineer of 47 years standing, the book summarized quite nicely many key results of value in industrial practice - I have been using earlier editions of this book for many years. The example problems in all major sections of the book are well posed. The numerical solutions are developed logically and in a straightforward manner, with references to key variables, equations, and graphs presented earlier. These are good preparation for the many end-of-chapter exercise problems, many showing highly innovative applications of heat transfer theory. It is true that there are no answers provided for these, so those studying heat transfer for the first time might find this disconcerting.

There are, of course, many other textbooks on heat transfer, each with its own areas of emphasis and level of detail. The most fundamental of all, of course, is Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot's "Transport Phenomena" which is often (mistakenly, in my opinion) regarded as a graduate text.Read more ›

No odd solutions
By Scott on November 7, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Not much to say but it is Heat Transfer. It doesn't have the solutions to odd problems, or any problems. This class was way harder than I ever imagined.
