This comprehensive introduction to the field of heat and mass transfer explains the theory and fundamentals, and teaches the skills needed to address practical problems. The English edition of a successful German textbook, it includes figures and calculated examples and numerous solved exercises. The book will be useful to students, and likewise to scientists and practising engineers.
This comprehensive textbook provides a solid foundation of knowledge on the principles of heat and mass transfer and shows how to solve problems by applying modern methods. The basic theory is developed systematically, exploring in detail the solution methods to all important problems.
The thoroughly revised 3rd edition includes an introduction to the numerical solution of Finite Elements. A new section on heat and mass transfer in porous media has also been added.
The book will be useful not only to upper-level and graduate students, but also to practicing scientists and engineers, offering a firm understanding of the principles of heat and mass transfer, and showing how to solve problems by applying modern methods. Many completed examples and numerous exercises with solutions facilitate learning and understanding, and an appendix includes data on key properties of important substances..
