Process Heat Transfer

by Donald Q. Kern

A still-popular classic work in the field of heat transfer for chemical and other types of engineers - Provides fundamental instruction in heat transfer while employing the methods and language of industry. To provide the rounded group of heat-transfer tools required in process engineering a number of new empirical calculations which had not previously appeared in engineering literature, but add to the value of the information to the practicing engineer. Some information provided in conventional texts, which is rarely, if ever, applied to the solutions of run-of-the-mill engineering problems, has been omitted, to provide room for information more of practical use in industry and research. - This edition is a 1978 reissue in hardback.

This book was a very good guide for the subject of heat transfer; however, it lacked the ability to DEFINE things. It focuses more on the calculation and design aspect of the subject, which I think it dealt with excellently; however, it tends to ignore the idea of introductions and definitions. As an introductory course of heat transfer, where a student is not very familiar with the concepts of heat transfer, I believe this book NEEDS to be paired up with another one for better understanding.
