From the reviews of the second edition: "Providing a comprehensive and concise treatment of convective heat transfer in single- and multiphase flows … this book in its second edition appeals to both students (at a graduate level) and researchers. After a carefully written and inviting introduction (including historical remarks), the book is divided into three parts and contains ... Read morea total of 8 chapters. … Extensive bibliographical data, citation and subject index as well as many illustrating figures, tables and charts make this book a useful and welcome reference." (Nina Kirchner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 974, 2001) "This second edition of this book, part of the ‘Mechanical Engineering Series’, has been updated throughout and contains new examples and problems. It reviews in a concise and unified manner recent contributions to the principles of convective heat transfer for single- and multiphase systems, summarizes the role of the fundamental mechanisms and the governing differential equations, describes approximation schemes and phenomenological models, and examines their solutions and applications."
