3.0 out of 5 stars
hard to follow and has no answers in the back,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Heat Transfer, Revised Printing (Hardcover)
This book could be good if a great professor was teaching with it. I had the misfortune of having another poor University of California, San Diego professor which made the book a priority to read. I found the book to be once again excessive in derivation and the problems required too much interpolation to make any good use of the tables provided. The tables were great however could not be used efficiently when solving problems, thus making homework sessions tedious rather than instructive.

Really great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Heat Transfer (Hardcover)
I used this book as an undergrad (ME) and I loved it. Now I'm taking the grad heat transfer class, and this book has been a great help. I am currently designing a heat exchanger and without it I would have been lost! In the words of my friend in reference to this book, "I just want to shake that man's hand for writing it"
4.0 out of 5 stars
