Synopsis:

This text aims to present a balanced coverage of the key topics and applications in heat transfer in an accessible, student-friendly manner. There is a de-emphasis on "heavy" theoretical topics, the object being to make the text mathematically unintimidating. There are three practically-orientated chapters on heating and cooling of buildings, refrigeration and freezing of foods, and cooling of electronics. There is a software program (SEE) available to buyers.
