Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer
(The present book has evolved from a series of lectures to...)
The present book has evolved from a series of lectures to graduate students. The text is therefore envisioned as one which will enable the student to learn and understand the fundamental laws in depth and detail, to study and appreciate the power of analytical methods, and to recognize their limitations. The book provides a clear understanding of the fundamental principles required for application to specific situations as they occur in technological developments and treats a few approaches which have broad applications in sufficient detail for the student to follow the developments and derivations with minimum reference to other sources.
