Reviews

"Authors' approach as outlined in the preface is excellent. Having a summary of new concepts at the beginning of the chapter is helpful to the students. The authors present many examples of practical systems and show how such systems can be analyzed by appropriate engineering models. They have shown students how to go from a practical system to a simplified engineering model to application of heat transfer principles to analyze the model very well. All the problems and examples in this book deal with real-life engineering systems. Many problems deals with topics of current interest (for example, renewable energy)� the material is very well presented and ample examples are provided that students can relate to."

"The organization is excellent as is, and follows very naturally�The subject matter is complicated but it is presented very well for the students to understand�The material follows very logically, and the organization is great�Knowing the impatience of Engineering students, I find that this material is by no means 'dry.' It is sufficiently spiked and spiced with Engineering examples so that a good Professor can easily use it to present the subject without the entire class getting bored."
