About this title

From the Back Cover

The up–to–date edition of the bestseller on convection heat transfer A revised edition of the industry classic, Convection Heat Transfer, this Third Edition chronicles how the field of heat transfer has grown and prospered over the last two decades. Students will find this new edition more accessible, while not sacrificing its thorough treatment of the most up–to–date information on current research and applications in the field. One of the foremost leaders in the field, Adrian Bejan has pioneered and taught many of the methods and practices commonly used in the industry today. He continues this book s long–standing role as an inspiring, optimal study tool by providing: Updated and expanded coverage of convection in porous media, focusing on microscale heat exchangers and optimization of flow configurations Emphasis on original and effective methods such as scale analysis, heatlines for visualization, intersection of asymptotes for optimization, and constructal theory for thermofluid design A readable text for students, in the tradition of the bestselling First Edition New problems and examples taken from real–world practice and heat exchanger design An accompanying solutions manual Complete with hundreds of informative and original illustrations, Convection Heat Transfer, Third Edition is the most comprehensive and approachable text for students in schools of mechanical engineering.
