This manual contains complete and detailed worked-out solutions for all the problems given at the end of each chapter in the book Heat Transfer (hereinafter referred to as 'the Text'). All the problems can be solved by direct application of the principle presented in the Text. This manual will serve as a handy reference to users of the Text.
Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 7th Edition is the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for more than 30 years, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors having more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology pioneered by this text, it is abundantly filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition maintains its foundation in the four central learning objectives for students and also makes heat and mass transfer more approachable with an additional emphasis on the fundamental concepts, as well as highlighting the relevance of those ideas with exciting applications to the most critical issues of today and the coming decades: energy and the environment. An updated version of Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software makes it even easier to efficiently and accurately solve problems.
This introduction to conduction heat transfer blends a description of the necessary mathematics with contemporary engineering applications. Examples include: heat transfer in manufacturing processes, the cooling of electronic equipment and heat transfer in various applications.
Although the empirical treatment of fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media is over a century old, only in the last three decades has the transport in these heterogeneous systems been addressed in detail. So far, single-phase flows in porous media have been treated or at least formulated satisfactorily, while the subject of two-phase flow and the related heat-transfer in porous media is still in its infancy. This book identifies the principles of transport in porous media and compares the avalaible predictions based on theoretical treatments of various transport mechanisms with the existing experimental results. The theoretical treatment is based on the volume-averaging of the momentum and energy equations with the closure conditions necessary for obtaining solutions. While emphasizing a basic understanding of heat transfer in porous media, this book does not ignore the need for predictive tools; whenever a rigorous theoretical treatment of a phenomena is not avaliable, semi-empirical and empirical treatments are given.
This text provides balanced coverage of the basic concepts of thermodynamics and heat transfer. Together with the illustrations, student-friendly writing style, and accessible math, this is an ideal text for an introductory thermal science course for non-mechanical engineering majors.
This manual contains detailed solutions of slightly more than half of the end of chapter problems in The Dynamics of Heat. The numbers of the problems includ ed here are listed on the following page. A friend who knows me well noticed that I have included only those problems which I could actually solve myself. Also, to make things more interesting, I have built random errors into the solutions. If you find any of them, please let me know. Also, if you have different ways of solving a problem, I would be happy to hear from you. Any feedback, also on the book in general, would be greatly appreciated. There is an Errata sheet for the first printing of The Dynamics of Heat. By the time you read this, it should be available on the Internet for you to download. A reference to the URL of the sheet can be found in the announcement of my book on Springer's WWWpages (www.springer-ny.com).
