This book contains 1010 completely solved problems in heat transfer. Most of the problems pertain to engineering heat transfer as typically encountered in junior-year and senior-year study of that topic in many of the engineering disciplines, specifically aerospace, chemical, electrical, industrial, mechanical, and nuclear engineering. You will find that a knowledge of the mathematics of differential equations, including partial differential equations, is required for certain of the solutions. The order of topics is that followed in several widely used heat transfer textbooks conduction, convection, phase change, applications to heat exchangers, and radiation. Within each of these topics, the order of the material is important. In convection, for example, a traversal of Chapter 4 should precede any attempt to work the problems in Chapters 5, 6, and 7. In conduction, Chapter I should be mastered prior to attempting Chapters 2 and 3. Chapters 8 (Boiling and Condensation) and 10 (Radiation) are relatively independent of the rest of the book, whereas Chapter 9 (Heat Exchangers) depends on a knowledge of conductive and convective heat transfer. Chapter 10 (Radiation) is more sell-contained than any of the others Numerical problems are about equally divided between the SI and the British Engineering system of units. Parallel problems in the two systems are identified by a superscript D on the problem numbers. Any number appearing in a solution is "given" in the problem statement, taken from an accompanying illustration or table, or previously computed in the problem or a cited companion problem. It also may be a conversion factor or a property or factor obtainable from a cited table or illustration in an appendix. Unusual or infrequent symbols are defined in the problems where they are used. All the problems in this book have been checked, but it is possible that some mistakes have gone unnoticed. The authors would appreciate being notified of any error that you find, for correction in future printings. We wish you Godspeed in your study of heat transfer and hope you find the problems in this book helpful.
