Heat Transfer (Mcgraw-hill Series in Mechanical Engineering)

great fun

helpful

Clear and concise book that describes heat transfer to its college student. Being in Mechanical Engineering, one of our course of studies is Heat Transfer. The author does a great job describing the three modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. There are areas that could be described better, such as shape factors and the Heisler charts, but overall a good book.

I find myself going to youtube to get information about derivations in this text because the text doesn't work out details of equations it uses to define concepts. Some readers prefer that approach, but I like to follow the math and can't often with this book.

The use of Microsoft Excel in this book is probably the smartest move on the part of Dr. Holman to teach Heat Transfer. The author's approach is impressively reader centered and he avoids pedantic and unnecessary over-facing analysis. Each chapter develops along very clear and logical lines. There are a wealth of examples and exercises that encourage readers to test and develop their knowledge imaginatively. Both students and practicing engineers/professionals aiming to update their knowledge will find that this book presents an accessible, interactive and challenging mastery of the subject. Again, the use of Excel spreadsheets for heat transfer is practical and invaluable to practicing professionals like myself and I wish more authors will follow suit.Highly recommended!

The book is tattered and pages are torn out is is in ruff shape but I don't have the time to replace

It arrived on time, the book is good, but not the bestQuality was as described, but I think I could have gotten a less expensive one. I rushed to purchase it because I needed a book in this subject

BOOK HAD NOTICEABLE SCRATCHES AND DENTS ALL OVER, EVEN THOUGH IT IS MARKETED AS "NEW". NOT WORTH IT!!!

Very interesting quality book,
