Process Heat Transfer

by Donald Q. Kern

This seminal text has been a “cornerstone of all engineering curricula and practice” for over half a century and remains a vital reference for engineers today. Kern begins with an overview of heat transfer theory before focusing on specific design problems commonly experienced by engineers in the field--using numerous easy to understand and effective examples to help convey principles. The broadly applicable empirical calculation methods, extensive tables, and use of industry language and methodology make Process Heat Transfer a convenient and essential reference tool.

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.
