[Mike Gardog]

Possibly one of the worst heat transfer books written. While it's been approximately 35 years since I've read it, my notes on one of the first few pages:
- pointing to Kreith: "major a-hole"
- pointing to Cliff Robichaud (sponsoring editor): "he didn't do a very good job"
- in PREFACE - first line "In preparing a fourth edition, we have attempted to write a book that is useful..." my comment: "too bad you didn't succeed"

Enough said

I read this book for my Gas Dynamics & Heat Transfer class. I think it did well in terms of describing the different modes of heat transfer but it could’ve had a lot more examples in the book. ‘Learn by Doing’ you know?!

كتاب انتقال حرارت كريث، به اندازه‌ي كتاب‌هاي يونس سنجل و يا حتي كتاب هولمن خوش‌خوان نبود. اما خواندن اين درس نزد استاد امين‌فر، برايم جزء لذت بخش‌ترين‌ها بود. هرچند هر فصل اين كتاب، به تنهايي شامل چند كورس در مقاطع كارشناسي ارشد و دكتري است، فهم دقيق كتاب برخلاف ديگر هم‌دوره‌اي ها، برايم ارجعيت داشت.
علي‌ايحال كريث به زبان كلاسيك، به بيان آن‌چه از انتقال حرارت فهميده‌ بود، پرداخته بود. به ويژه در فصل انتقال جرم.
