critical topics in the field, including conduction, convection, thermal radiation, phase change, and heat exchangers. Complete details of classical mathematics are presented, and accurate gas radiation charts developed by Edwards replace conventional Hottel charts. The book also provides unique coverage of film condensation and evaporation, in addition to regenerative exchangers. An introduction to heat exchanger design, two-color illustrations, and an extensive, up-to-date bibliography included at the end of the book help make this book essential for any mechanical engineer wanting a solid reference for heat transfer.Powerful PC software included FREE!Powerful PC software available on 5-1/4" or 3-1/2" IBM® format disks is packaged with every book. This fully integrated package of 14 computer programs reduces the time and effort required to obtain reliable numerical results and improves your ability to effectively solve heat transfer problems. Parametric studies, the essence of engineering design, can be performed much easier with the software, and a large thermophysical property database is included in the software as well.
