Preface
This book is intended to cover intermediate heat transfer between the
undergraduate and the advanced graduate heat transfer levels. It includes
14 chapters and an Appendix:
Chapter 1 Heat Conduction Equations
Chapter 2 1-D Steady-State Heat Conduction
Chapter 3 2-D Steady-State Heat Conduction
Chapter 4 Transient Heat Conduction
Chapter 5 Numerical Analysis in Heat Conduction
Chapter 6 Heat Convection Equations
Chapter 7 External Forced Convection
Chapter 8 Internal Forced Convection
Chapter 9 Natural Convection
Chapter 10 Turbulent Flow Heat Transfer
Chapter 11 Fundamental Radiation
Chapter 12 View Factor
Chapter 13 Radiation Exchange in a Nonparticipating Medium
Chapter 14 Radiation Transfer through Gases
Appendix A Mathematical Relations and Functions
There are many excellent undergraduate and graduate heat transfer textbooks available. Although I do not claim any new ideas in this book, I do
attempt to present the subject in a systematic and logical manner. I hope
this book is a unique compilation and is useful for graduate entry-level heat
transfer study.
While preparing this manuscript, I heavily referenced the following books
and therefore am deeply appreciative to their authors:
W. Rohsenow and H. Choi, Heat, Mass, and Momentum Transfer, PrenticeHall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1961.
A. Mills, Heat Transfer, Richard D. Irwin, Inc., Boston, MA, 1992.
K. Vincent Wong, Intermediate Heat Transfer, Marcel Dekker, Inc.,
New York, NY, 2003.
F. Incropera and D. Dewitt, Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, Fifth
Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 2002.
Finally, I would like to sincerely express special thanks to my former
student, Dr. Zhihong (Janice) Gao (PhD, 2007). Janice spent a lot of time and
effort to input most of the manuscript from my original Intermediate Heat
Transfer Class Notes in 2005–2007. Without her diligent and persistent contributions, this book would be impossible. In addition, I would like to extend
appreciation to my current PhD students, Jiang Lei and Shiou-Jiuan Li for
their help in completing the book and drawings.
