Description: Answering the trend of the development of computers in convective heat transfer by providing a reasonable, theoretical basis for a subject that has traditionally been strongly experimental and analytical, Convective Heat and Mass Transfer has devoted its core to boundary layer theory with a special emphasis on the laminar and turbulent thermal boundary layer. Not forgetting the analytical approach either, the third edition also contains more experimental data. Moreover, there are new editions and expanded coverage throughout. Chapters 11 through 14 have been completely rewritten and expanded to reflect new models and data on the turbulent boundary layer and turbulent flow in tubes. In addition, a new Appendix E contains an extensive set of experimental data on heat transfer to the turbulent boundary layer under a variety of conditions. These data are presented in a way to facilitate comparisons with different turbulence models. Heat exchanger theory, one of the principal application areas of convective heat transfer, is covered in two chapters, including a section on a unique theory of heat exchangers. A unique and superior approach using D. B. Spalding's work on convective mass transfer is covered in three chapters.
