About this book
Professor Jiji’s broad teaching experience lead him to select the topics for this book to provide a firm foundation for convection heat transfer with emphasis on fundamentals, physical phenomena, and mathematical modelling of a wide range of engineering applications. Reflecting recent developments, this textbook is the first to include an introduction to the challenging topic of microchannels.
The strong pedagogic potential of Heat Convection is enhanced by the following ancillary materials: (1) Power Point lectures, (2) Problem Solutions, (3) Homework Facilitator, and, (4) Summary of Sections and Chapters.
Reviews
I found this book to be an excellent text on heat convection, and the author has a very clear and rigorous approach to the subject. I especially like the structure of the example problems and solutions, and the inclusion of 'order-of-magnitude' estimation as a standard part of any solution. I believe that this text could become the standard graduate text for this subject. I personally intend to recommend this text to colleagues at other institutions, and I look forward to using this text in my course.
