Principles of Heat Transfer, SI Edition

by Frank Kreith, Raj M. Manglik, Mark S. Bohn

PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TRANSFER was first published in 1959, and since then it has grown to be considered a classic within the field, setting the standards for coverage and organization within all other Heat Transfer texts. The book is designed for a one-semester course in heat transfer at the junior or senior level, however, flexibility in pedagogy has been provided. Following several recommendations of the ASME Committee on Heat Transfer Education, Kreith, Manglik, and Bohn present relevant and stimulating content in this fresh and comprehensive approach to heat transfer, acknowledging that in today's world classical mathematical solutions to heat transfer problems are often less influential than computational analysis. This acknowledgement is met with the emphasize that students must still learn to appreciate both the physics and the elegance of simple mathematics in addressing complex phenomena, aiming at presenting the principles of heat transfer both within the framework of classical mathematics and empirical correlations.

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

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.
