Convective Heat Transfer

by Sadik Kakac, Yaman Yener

Convective Heat Transfer presents an effective approach to teaching convective heat transfer. The authors systematically develop the topics and present them from basic principles. They emphasize physical insight, problem-solving, and the derivation of basic equations. To help students master the subject matter, they discuss the implementations of the basic equations and the workings of examples in detail. The material also includes carefully prepared problems at the end of each chapter.

In this Second Edition, topics have been carefully chosen and the entire book has been reorganized for the best presentation of the subject matter. New property tables are included, and the authors dedicate an entire chapter to empirical correlations for a wide range of applications of single-phase convection. The book is excellent for helping students quickly develop a solid understanding of convective heat transfer.

[Sanat]

Excellent book who wants to go deeper in the area of convective heat transfer. Derivations for convective heat transfer coefficient for some standard problems like flow inside a cylinder. I will highly recommend this book for students who wish to aquire additional knowledge about thermal boundary layer and the relation between hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer.
