This book is designed as a textbook for mechanical engineering seniors or beginning graduate students. The book provides a reasonable theoretical basis for a subject that has traditionally had a very strong experimental base. The core of the book is devoted to boundary layer theory with special emphasis on the laminar and turbulent thermal boundary layer. Two chapters on heat exchanger theory are included since this subject is one of the principle application areas of convective heat transfer.Written by authorities in the subject, Convective Heat and Mass Transfer by William M. Kays and Michael E. Crawford provides an excellent foundation for your studies. William M. Kays and Michael E. Crawford's style is excellently suited towards the topic, and will teach students the material clearly without overcomplicating the subject. What's more, the text is available in the Hardcover format shown above (ISBN 9780070337213), as well as a number of other formats. As of January 1993, this revision raises the bar for Convective Heat and Mass Transfer's high standard of excellence, making sure that it stays one of the foremost textbooks on the subject
