Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer

Front Cover
Wiley Global Education, May 10, 2017 - Science - 992 pages

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer 8th Edition has been the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for many decades, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors’ with more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Applying the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology that this text pioneered an abundance of examples and problems reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition makes heat and mass transfer more approachable by giving additional emphasis to fundamental concepts, while highlighting the relevance of two of today's most critical issues: energy and the environment.

About the author (2017)

Adrienne Lavine is Professor and past Department Chair (2006 - 2011) in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of California, Los Angeles. She began her academic career there in 1984 as an Assistant Professor after obtaining her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley.

Ted Bergman received his Ph.D. from Purdue University, and has been a faculty member at the University of Kansas (2012 - present), the University of Connecticut (1996 - 2012), and The University of Texas at Austin (1985 - 1996). He directed the Thermal Transport Processes Program at the U.S. National Science Foundation from 2008 to 2010. Early in his career, Dr. Bergman designed the cooling systems of large electric power generation stations.
