Engineering Heat Transfer
Arthur Shavit and Chaim Gutfinger
Third Edition
Israeli Institute of Technology, Haifa
The University of Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Although there are numerous thermodynamics texts on the market, most present the material in a way that is too complicated for those new to the field. Distilling core fundamentals in a rigorous yet accessible presentation, this second edition continues to maintain an appropriate level of precision to prepare students for subsequent, more advanced topics. With its logical methodology for solving problems in the context of conservation laws and property tables or equations, this text elucidates the terms around which thermodynamics has historically developed, such as work, heat, temperature, energy, and entropy. Using a pedagogical approach that builds from basic principles to laws and eventually corollaries of the laws, it enables students to think in clear and accurate thermodynamic terms to learn how to solve real engineering problems.
This updated edition of a perennial bestseller offers a simplified presentation of an abstract topic. An abundance of drawings, graphs, examples, and problems amplify theory and show how derived equations are used to model physical problems. This classic text covers practical applications in a way that de-emphasizes mathematical techniques but preserves physical interpretation of heat transfer fundamentals and modeling of heat transfer phenomena. End-of-chapter problems proceed from short simple confidence builders to difficult ones that help readers develop a rigorous approach to problem solving.
