Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer
Fifth Edition
by Frank P. Incropera
and David P. DeWitt

Noted for its crystal clear presentation and easy-to-follow problem solving methodology, this bestselling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer.

It contains hundred of problems and examples dealing with real engineering processes and systems. New open-ended problems add to the increased emphasis on design. Plus, Incropera & DeWitts systematic approach to the first law develops readers confidence in using this essential tool for thermal analysis.

This new updated edition has added a significant number of open-ended problems which the author believes will enhance student interest in heat transfer.
