This wholly revised edition of a classic handbook reference, written by some of the most eminent practitioners in the field, is designed to be your all-in-one source book on heat transfer issues and problem-solving. It includes the latest advances in the field, as well as covering subjects from microscale heat transfer to thermophysical properties of new refrigerants. An invaluable guide to this most crucial factor in virtually every industrial and environmental process.
Summary: Not a handbook for ‘rule of thumb’ engineering
Rating: 5
This book is a resource for understanding/solving complex heat transfer. There are no pages wasted on useless information, just vital information pertinent to the topic. The book is well laid out and well referenced. The chapter on heat pipes is a bit lacking. Overall an excellent heat transfer reference.
Summary: Where’s the useful stuff?
Rating: 3
You could spend the rest of your life reading this book! It would be useful for any professor or A student or other intellectual studying the material in depth. But for a practicing engineer who has little available time to ponder the specifics, it would take a “lot” of effort to find material that could be put to work in this text. If you are interested in deriving the equations you need yourself, or if you’re analysing a unique design, then this is the book for you. But if you are busy with standardized systems and technology, find another reference.
Summary: A Misleading Description
Rating: 3
I was expecting more tables and equations especially for natural convection external flow. There is also very little useful information about forced convection external flow. I also would have liked to see some sample calculations to demonstrate how to use this book better.
There is plenty of theory despite the product’s description and most of it is probably unnecessary for a handbook. It’s more like a big, expensive text for heat transfer than a handbook. A person would have to be an engineer, mathematician, or physicist to deal with the level of mathematics presented in this book.
There is a fair amount of information about internal flow for both forced and natural convection, but this book’s value is quite limited. I am dissappointed with this book and would not purchase it again if I lost it.
Summary: Reference book for engineers
Rating: 5
This is not an introductory book on heat transfer! Instead it is a thorough treatment on heat transfer in a stringent an extensive manner. This book places greater emphasis on correctness than “easy-to-understand-ness”. However, if you do read it, you gain a lot compared to most introductory heat transfer books. If you are interested in forced convection heat transfer, this book gives well documented equations and charts for a great number of shapes, though mostly internal flow. This is a very serious book for serious engineers!
Summary: A very useful reference
Rating: 4
I found very useful the way thermal conductivity was approached. I was used to solve simple problems by means of “Temperature response charts”. Now it is possible to use formulas instead of graphs.
