TLDR
In this article, the physical concepts and methodologies of heat and mass transfer are explained for advanced undergraduate engineering majors, using a systematic method for problem solving and discusses the relationship of heat transfer to many important practical applications through examples and problems.
Abstract
This book, designed for advanced undergraduate engineering majors, explains the physical concepts and methodologies of heat and mass transfer. It uses a systematic method for problem solving and discusses the relationship of heat and mass transfer to many important practical applications through examples and problems. A and significant contribution is the extensive use of the First Law of thermodynamics.
