                  HEAT TRANSFER TEXT BOOK BY CENGEL SOFTCOPY

With complete coverage of the basic principles of heat transfer along with a broad range of applications in a flexible format, Heat Transfer: A Practical Approach, provides the perfect blend of fundamentals and applications. This lavishly illustrated text provides a highly intuitive and practical understanding of the material by emphasizing the physics and the underlying physical phenomena involved. Using a reader-friendly approach and a conversational writing style, the book is self-instructive and entertains while it teaches. It shows that highly technical matter can be communicated effectively in a simple yet precise language.

This text is the outcome of an attempt to have a textbook for a practically oriented

heat transfer course for engineering students. The text covers the standard

topics of heat transfer with an emphasis on physics and real-world

applications, while de-emphasizing intimidating heavy mathematical aspects.

This approach is more in line with students’ intuition and makes learning the

subject matter much easier.

The philosophy that contributed to the warm reception of the first edition of

this book has remained unchanged. The goal throughout this project has been

to offer an engineering textbook that

• Talks directly to the minds of tomorrow’s engineers in a simple yet precise

manner.

• Encourages creative thinking and development of a deeper understanding

of the subject matter.

• Is read by students with interest and enthusiasm rather than being used

as just an aid to solve problems.

Special effort has been made to appeal to readers’ natural curiosity and to help

students explore the various facets of the exciting subject area of heat transfer.

The enthusiastic response we received from the users of the first edition all

over the world indicates that our objectives have largely been achieved.

Yesterday’s engineers spent a major portion of their time substituting values

into the formulas and obtaining numerical results. However, now formula manipulations

and number crunching are being left to computers. Tomorrow’s

engineer will have to have a clear understanding and a firm grasp of the basic

principles so that he or she can understand even the most complex problems,

formulate them, and interpret the results. A conscious effort is made to emphasize

these basic principles while also providing students with a look at how modern tools are 

used in engineering practise
