Heat transfer is a required course for mechanical, aerospace, nuclear, and chemical engineering undergraduates. Advanced courses in heat transfer are also required for most graduate students in the same four fields. Generally, these advanced courses are named “Conduction,” “Convection,” or “Radiation”. In many universities, however, there is an Intermediate Heat Transfer course for seniors and first year graduate engineering students. This is their textbook. For this second course in heat transfer; this volume evolved from a series of lecture notes developed by the author in almost twenty-five years of teaching a graduate-level course of this type at the Mechanical Engineering Department, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, U.S.A.
There are several distinguishing features that set Intermediate Heat Transfer apart from existing texts on the subject. A discussion of these features follows. A major difficulty of engineering graduates in studying heat transfer at the advanced level is the big jump of knowledge required. It is difficult for them to comprehend the advanced material because the introductory course did not adequately prepare them. This book bridges this gap in knowledge about heat transfer.
Intermediate Heat Transfer provides the necessary background for seniors and first-year graduate students so that they can independently read and understand research papers in heat transfer. The one standard course in heat transfer, usually at the junior undergraduate level, does not cover enough material for the student to be cognizant of most of the archival material on heat transfer. This book fills the knowledge gap of heat transfer for most of our engineering graduates who have taken only one course in heat transfer.
