FUNDAMENTALS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER

In his famous dissertation on thermodynamics, Professor Obert discovered that concepts are better grasped when they are repeatedly applied to real-life circumstances. The author's firm belief in this principle has led him to arrange the text material in each chapter in the following way.

After enunciating the essential principles and rules, mathematical models are created that lead to rate equations for heat transfer and temperature field determination. Simple and straightforward numerical examples are presented to explain the main laws. In comparison to numerical challenges, more emphasis is placed on model development.
