description: This book sets out the fundamentals of heat transfer the process of heat transmission from bodies at a higher temperature to bodies at a lower one until temperature equilibrium is attained. The essence of the three modes of heat transfer is discussed in conduction between particles of a body; heat transfer by convection (i.e. by movement of the particles of fluids); radiant heat transfer (electromagnetic oscillation through an intermediate medium). Outlining the physical phenomena of the processes, the authors give practical solutions of typical problems of heat transfer. Their treatment of the subject also includes current methods of hydrodynamic design and calculation of heat exchangers. The book is written as a textbook for students of heat-engineering departments. It is also of interest as a reference work to engineers and technicians engaged in design and operation of all kinds of heat transfer equipment.
