Publisher's Synopsis
Presented here is a comprehensive collection of convective heat transfer basics, methods of calculations, tables, charts and design parameters involving single-phase flows - the most commonly experienced mode in heat transfer problems. Topics covered include natural and forced convection under a wide variety of design conditions, such as ducts, crossflows, turbulent conditions, transitional states, curved and coiled ducts, over rods in metals and through bends, valves and fittings. Also incorporated in the book are sections on radiation interaction and fouling conditions. The text is an assemblage of the world's leading authorities in heat transfer today; a cross-section of the true forces in heat transfer research and design who currently, and consistently, produce the leading publications in the field.
