Engineering Heat Transfer

Beschreibung

This updated edition of a perennial bestseller offers a simplified presentation of an abstract topic. An abundance of drawings, graphs, examples, and problems amplify theory and show how derived equations are used to model physical problems. This classic text covers practical applications in a way that de-emphasizes mathematical techniques but preserves physical interpretation of heat transfer fundamentals and modeling of heat transfer phenomena. End-of-chapter problems proceed from short simple confidence builders to difficult ones that help readers develop a rigorous approach to problem solving.

Autor

Dr. William S. Janna received a BSME degree, an MSME, and a PhD from the University of Toledo. He joined the mechanical engineering faculty at Th e University of New Orleans in 1976, where he became department chair, and served in that position for 4 years. Subsequently, he joined Th e University of Memphis in 1987 as chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Janna served as associate dean for graduate studies and research in the Herff College of Engineering. His research interests include boundary layer methods of solution for various engineering problems, modeling the melting of ice objects of various shapes, and the study of sublimation from various geometries. Dr. Janna is the author of three textbooks, and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He teaches courses in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and design of fl uid/thermal systems. He has designed and constructed a number of experiments in fluid mechanics and heat transfer laboratories..
