Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 7th Edition is the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for more than 30 years, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors having more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology pioneered by this text, it is abundantly filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition maintains its foundation in the four central learning objectives for students and also makes heat and mass transfer more approachable with an additional emphasis on the fundamental concepts, as well as highlighting the relevance of those ideas with exciting applications to the most critical issues of today and the coming decades: energy and the environment. An updated version of Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software makes it even easier to efficiently and accurately solve problems.

Mechanical engineering educator
Incropera, Frank Paul was born on May 12, 1939 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, United States. Son of James Frank and Ann Laura (Leone) Incropera.
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1961. Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, California, 1962. Doctor of Philosophy, Stanford University, California, 1966.
Incropera is the Clifford and Evelyn Brosey Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, United States. A Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Incropera is known for his contributions to the field of heat transfer, especially in the context of radiation transfer in scattering-absorbing media and double diffusive convection. He has been listed as an Inter-Services Intelligence Highly Cited Author in Engineering by the Inter-Services Intelligence Web of Knowledge, Thomson Scientific Company. Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts in United States on 12 May 1939, Incropera received his bachelor"s degree mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1961 and Master of Surgery degree in mechanical engineering from the Stanford University in 1962.
From 1962 to 1964 he has worked for the Lockheed Missiles & Space Company, Sunnyvale, California.
He came back to Stanford and earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree in mechanical engineering in 1966. Incropera began his academic career in 1966 as an assistant professor in Mechanical Engineering department at Purdue University.
In 1969, he was promoted to associate professor and became full professor in 1973. He was chairman of the Heat and Mass Transfer Area of Mechanical Engineering from 1976 to 1985.
Incropera also served as Head of the School of Mechanical Engineering from 1989 to 1998.
In 1998, he left Purdue to join University of Notre Dame as the Clifford and Evelyn Brosey Professor of Mechanical Engineering. At the University of Notre Dame, he also served as Matthew H. McCloskey Dean of Engineering until 2006.
