Index.
Fundamentals of Heat & Mass Transfer 7th edition is the standard for mastering heat and mass transfer.
Respected for its readability, comprehensiveness, and relevance, Incropera and DeWitt’s text is the recognized standard for learning heat and mass transfer. This text combines detailed coverage with the resources students need to learn the concepts and apply them to solving realistic and relevant problems. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology, the text is filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline.
Key Features
- The definitive text on Heat and Mass Transfer, this book continues to be built around the four central learning objectives, including:
- The reader should internalize the meaning of the terminology and physical principles associated with heat transfer.
- The reader should be able to delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer.
- The reader should be able to use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures.
- The reader should be able to develop representative models of real processes and systems and draw conclusions concerning process/system design or performance from the attendant analysis.
- Teaches students the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology developed and honed by the Incropera author team
- A wealth of example problems to better show how to apply the material across various engineering disciplines and fields
- Identifies problems that are uniquely suited for solving with a computational software tool, both to increase efficiency and to decrease errors
New to this edition
- Richness of the problems and examples – numerous contemporary applications have been added, especially in the area of ‘energy and the environment,’ including topics such as solar energy systems, renewable energy systems, and new manufacturing processes.
- Additional coverage of environmental issues, included an updated and augmented section on environmental radiation (12.9).
- As appropriate, the topic of thermodynamics has been augmented and carefully blended throughout the text, allowing readers to build upon those concepts and skills.
- Additional focus on and tailoring coverage down to the core fundamental concepts, while clearly indicating content that is either optional and/or more appropriate for a second course.
- Modernization and streamlining of the convection correlations helps students focus on the most useful correlations instead of getting lost or confused by the vast quantity of correlations.
- New version of Interactive Heat Transfer software – new Quickstart companion, new navigation that makes it easier.
- New version of Interactive Heat Transfer software – Problems involving complex models and/or exploratory, what-if, and parameter sensitivity considerations can efficiently and accurately be addressed using a computational equation-solving package. IHT has been designed for that specific purpose, and this new version provides a new Quickstart companion guide as well as a new, easier to use navigation scheme.
