Our class used this text to supplement another, though I thought the course could have stoof alone on the Incropera and Dewitt text. An excellent introduction to the topic.

Good Book, but missing solutions to problems  Feb 23, 2000 By Johnny Dickson
This book paints a good picture of concepts. The formulas are explained adequately and are followed by examples most of the time.

My only dislike of the book is the examples that are shown are very elementary and don't offer a lot of help on solving new problems. Another thing that the book needs is answers to the problems, because if you are working the problems and arrive at an answer, you don't know if you are correct.

From an engineering student  Sep 22, 2010 By Andrew
I liked this book going through it the first time, and I assume that the information in it is fairly standard for heat transfer courses, but I found severe drawbacks while using it a second time. The way the information is presented is too theoretical to use as a reference text. It is difficult to find equations since they are strewn throughout the text in a matter-of-fact way. The Index is very bare considering it is almost a 900 page text. Overall it is not very useful since it is difficult to open it up and check something quick that you may have forgotten about after a few years.

excellent text book  Jun 05, 2011 By roy
took a course in heat transfer based on this text book.
easy to follow chapters, clear examples.
formulas are batched each subject and are highlighted for easy to find.
a lot of questions for exercise but need solutions book for answers...
