Summary: Great book, very useful
Review: I learned a lot from this book. It's easy to read and has many good examples plus answers in the back of the book which really help. I recommend this book to any student who wants a good understanding of heat transfer.

Summary: A great book...relates the theory to real problems!
Review: I really enjoyed this book, and I feel that I have a pretty good understanding of the subject. The book teaches you enough theory to understand the concepts, but doesn't get bogged down in a lot of mathematics. It's easy to read, full of good example problems, and has answers at the back of the book for every other problem at the end of the chapters so you can check your homework solutions. There are worked application example problems at the end of every chapter, and application problems in the homework sets too. The appendix has all the thermal propeties you need to work the homework problems, and there are even curve fit equations of liquids and gases that you can use in computer programs for convection problems. There were a few errors in the book, but they weren't serious. I think that a person could even learn heat transfer on his own without a professor if he had this book, but it always helps to have someone there to explain it when you have questions. I highly recommend this book!
