Details
This bestselling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer. Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology, Incropera and Dewitt's systematic approach to the first law develops reader confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis. Readers will learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer as well as how to use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures.
The de facto standard text for heat transfer - noted for its readability, comprehensiveness, and relevancy- has been revised to address new application areas of heat transfer while continuing to emphasize the fundamentals. The sixth edition continues to support four student learning objectives:
· Learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer
· Identify and describe appropriate transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer
· Use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures
· Develop representative models of real processes and systems and draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analyses.

Frank P. Incropera is currently Matthew H. McCloskey Dean of the College of Engineering at Univeristy of Notre Dame. Professor Incropera received his B.S.M.E. from M.I.T. and his M.S.M.E. and Ph.D. from Stanford University, all in mechanical engineering. In 1998, he became the Clifford and Evelyn Brosey Professor of Mechanical Engineering. Professor Incropera has received four major Purdue teaching awards and was the 1982 recipient of the ASEE Ralph Coats Roe Award for excellence in teaching. He was the 1983 recipient of the ASEE George Westinghouse Award for achievements in teaching and research. In 1984 he became a Fellow of the ASME, and in 1988 he received the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award for twenty years of research accomplishments in the fields of plasma heat transfer, radiative transfer in participating media, and double-diffusive and mixed convection.
