Introduction to Heat Transfer, 6th Edition

Introduction to Heat Transfer is the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for more than 30 years, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors having more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Written for courses that exclude coverage of mass transfer, the sixth edition of this text maintains its foundation in the four central learning objectives for students. With examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of this discipline, this text teaches students how to become efficient problem-solvers through the use of the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology pioneered by the authors. Fundamental concepts have received further emphasis in this new edition, making the text even more accessible while providing a bridge from those ideas to critical applications in areas such as energy and the environment. The Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software that accompanies the text has also been updated, allowing readers to solve problems even more efficiently and accurately.

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
