Presents introductory material appropriate for a first course in heat transfer. This edition features design-oriented problems and a greater emphasis on the computer, with more material on how to establish computational algorithms. The IBM diskette accompanying the book can be used to help resolve the design-oriented problems.
As a general rule, I don't consider the books I studied as in the "Read" sorts. In fact, I had went through Heat Transfer twice before. Once in college and another time for the masters (Which eventually I ended up not taking the test that year). This time, I'm not studying it per se. I had changed how I view the world already since then, so this time I'm reading this for the reading pleasure. I want to learn as in how I learned about the stuff I had read in this time between.
Among all the courses I had, I liked Heat Transfer much more. It only makes sense if I start with it for my second run for the masters. Wish me luck and persistence!
Prof. Holman gives you theoretical physics (resistors etc.). Then, he gives you empirical approach. It is very balanced & it has nice transition between chapters. Lots of coeffifients (Grashof etc.) & tables too.
