Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer

by Frank P. Incropera, Theodore L. Bergman, David P. DeWitt

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 7th Edition is the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for more than 30 years, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors having more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology pioneered by this text, it is abundantly filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition maintains its foundation in the four central learning objectives for students and also makes heat and mass transfer more approachable with an additional emphasis on the fundamental concepts, as well as highlighting the relevance of those ideas with exciting applications to the most critical issues of today and the coming energy and the environment. An updated version of Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software makes it even easier to efficiently and accurately solve problems.

Great book, straight forward and easy to understand. Examples could have more variety to help with some complicated questions.

Fascinating

[Pranjal Singh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book and my go to reference for heat and mass transfer. What I particularly like about this book is that in almost always doesn't assume that the reader should remember/know all aspects of fluid mechanics/dynamics. Instead, it works out all the fluid mechanics/dynamics equations by applying Reynold's Transport Theorem on a volume element or Similarity techniques on boundary layers etc. So, you can pick it up and read it on its own without need of fluid mechanics/dynamics or other texts.

hard but i learnt something

The book is for the students who wish to aquire some advanced knowledge for heat transfer mechanisms. Reader will find a detailed explaination of conduction heat transfer.

This book took years out of my life

5/5

[Jonathan Roller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty good read. I learned a lot from this book and was a good complement to class

[Noah Hiler · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really impressive that the authors were able to create such an all-encompassing textbook on the topic. Had a lot of interesting concepts that could be readily applied to real life.

Incorpera: Gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco.

Its the classic HT book for a reason. the example problems are great and helpful for getting the basics. I would look elsewhere for more advanced descriptions of the material.

This book is the closest thing to the Bible for any engineer who has to deal with thermodynamics. Despite the elaborate, counter-intuitive, complex nature of the subject, Incropera and his collaborators manage to keep a simple, straight-forwards style, giving importance to the qualitative phenomena beyond the various transfer mechanisms - rather than the algebraic, quantitative formulation of them - covering in mathematical depth only the most important topics (like turbulence or Fourier's Law for 1D and 2D geometries - and focusing on what's important for any engineer: "how do I make this stuff work?"

Conduction, convection and radiation. The flow of heat drives the modern world. Cool stuff!

[Farhad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not complicated, simple language and all concept surrounded book. Due to Incorpera simple way it cannot be a Treybal book alternative but will help you to learn Treybal better.

bit hard but enjoyable !

[Ashutosh · Rating 4 out of 5]

good book

[Navid Lambert-Shirzad · Rating 3 out of 5]

simple language and nice demonstration of concepts by example problems. The lowest mark of my undergrad studies.

[Sid · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book in fundamentals of Heat and mass transfer, haven't
read a lot in the area to compare it with, but the book was hard to follow at times.

Textbooks become my reading for fun as a professor...

Loved this book.

Ini buku sakti pas ngerjain TA. Sampe "muntah" bacanya. Hehehe
