on time, great quality for the money. Would most certainly purchase from this seller in the future

Outstanding.......2001-07-10

This classic should be on every science and engineering bookshelf. The wealth of elegant analytical solutions is an invaluable resource for analysis as well as for informing numerical solutions.

Book Description

As one of the most popular heat transfer texts, Jack Holman's HEAT TRANSFER is noted for its clarity, accessible approach, and inclusion of many examples and problem sets. The new Ninth Edition retains the straight-forward, to-the-point writing style while covering both analytical and empirical approaches to the subject. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on physical understanding while, at the same time, relying on meaningful experimental data in those situations that do not permit a simple analytical solution. New examples and templates provide students with updated resources for computer-numerical solutions.

The Good and the Bad.......2005-02-27

The Good:
- A nice amout of examples.
- Whatever is explained is explained pretty well.
- Friendly style of writing.
The Bad:
- No solution manual.
- Some mistakes in the solved examples.
The Worst:
- There is no focus on the heat transfer sceince itself - the equations are "dumped" on you with no explanations/development or even some example experiments that were made to get to the equations. The focus is on application of the equations to engineering problems and methods of solving differential equations.

The bottom line:
This book will not give you an understanding of the heat transfer science, but the ability to solve heat transfer problems. If that's what you look for - this is your book. Otherwise, look for something else.

Why only five stars?.......2004-07-24

This book is a winner . Forget about any other substitute . In this detailed text you will find all you want about every ine of the multiple equations about the heat transfer , clearly and powerful illustrated . The level of the problems are gradually increased so when you decide to solve them you will become in a real gladiator in this topic .
I recommend it deeply . Since I acquired it I noticed the little difference that makes the great difference . This is a heavyweight text and hardly you will find out another better than this .
A must for Chemical , Mechanical and Industrial engineers!

A League of Its Own.......2004-01-23

In Holman's (the author) spirit I'll keep this simple. This text (along with Moran/Shapiro's introductory text in thermodynamics) is among the best textbooks met during the course of a civil, aerospace or mechanical enginnering study. The language used constitutes what should be an "industrial standard" for engineering textbooks. It keeps the level of attention peaking by avoiding loose talk and wordy explanations where this is not required. This is (academic) litterature in its truest sense. I own about 50 science/engineering texts within fluid mechanics, solid mechanics/dynamics, mathematics, physics and more. Among these, this book is top three - no small feat.

textbook critic.......2003-11-30

This is a required classical text in most senior Mechanical Engineering programs. However, it was a difficult text to get through especially the sketchy discussed complex mathematical material -- if one is not well versed in Partial Differential Equations.

For most students, the text's analytical developments are difficult to grasp in the beginning since the author was inclinded to stay with the typical old style in writing engineering texts where as little as possible is given to the students!

I hope we're getting away from this rediculous old writing style and methodologies which ultimately needlessly blocks many good students from doing well or graduate.

Engineering textbook writers are slowly getting away from this horrible old style, by providing more comprehensive examples and making solutions manuals available to those students who wish to purchase them.

But, here I think that real market forces that brought about some needed change was the popular Schaum Outlines and REAs solution books -- giving the students what they really needed to do problems. So authors slowly began competing with these growing anciliary technical products!

Please note, in the past years, it was almost inhuman what technical students had to endure to get through their required courses to graduate.

Author J. P. Holman began in the 1960's with a really sketchy Heat Transfer textbook assuming students undestood the analytical proofs and then slowly began to make changes that gave the students more information in which to understand the complex analytical Partial Differential Equation derivations and solutions. The concepts of heat flow are not difficult it is the mathematics, the assumptions and the numerous steps reaching a solutions that is wild.

Hopefully, someday, we'll get away altogether from technical textbooks, which are inherently a 2-Dimensional medium, and move to modern medias that easily allow authors to write textbooks having 3-Dimensional data so students can quickly see and understand what the author is trying to convey.

Most technical courses deal with 3-Dimensional information so it is appropraite that authors move to new mediums soon and finally wean ourselves from technical textbooks altogether.

Holman Heat Transfer.......2003-11-12

A classical. Required reading for heat transfer design in heater convection sections. I found it simple and practical. By the way, I am looking for a new book (as mine was stolen).

Book Description

Heat transfer between two bodies in thermal contact is of fundamental importance in a wide variety of applications ranging from industrial and domestic processes to fundamental biology and chemistry. This book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of thermal contact conductance. The theoretical discussion covers heat transfer through spots, joints, and surfaces, as well as the role of interstitial materials (both planned and inadvertent). The practical discussion includes formulae and data for use in designing heat-transfer equipment for a variety of joints, including special geometries and configurations.

Book Description

This Second Edition for the standard graduate level course in conduction heat transfer has been updated and oriented more to engineering applications partnered with real-world examples. New features include: numerous grid generation--for finding solutions by the finite element method--and recently developed inverse heat conduction. Every chapter and reference has been updated and new exercise problems replace the old.

excellent book !!.......2005-11-26

This is by far my favorite book on conduction.Very clear exposition on all topics raging from the classic method of separation of variables to integral transform.However i must warn that this is a book of how to solve partial differential equation of heat conduction.The reader looking for physics explanation should buy the excellent book from arpaci.

Good text.......2000-09-18

Very well written, and adequately addresses the important issues in this subject at a graduate level.

Analytical Methods in Heat Transfer.......2005-06-09

This is a classical book on heat conduction that has served the heat transfer community for well three decades. It is well written and describes the analytical techniques in a lucid style with numerous examples. As a heat transfer professor myself for forty years, I have always kept the book handy on my desk for reference. The comprehensive problems at the end of the book provide ideas for term long research projects for graduate students. The book is an absolute delight to read and definitely a worthwhile investment.

So well written, no instructor is required.......1999-08-30

The student can learn the classical analytical techniques of solving conduction heat transfer probems from this text alone; no supplements or intructor are required. Once the classical methods are mastered, the student is introduced to finite difference and finite element methods. The book contains a number of comprehensive real world problems to demonstrate how all of the concepts are applied.

Book Description

This book is one of the very first on the subject of mathematical materials science and presents a view different from that prevalent in the physical literature. Issues foundational in nature are stressed with the emphasis on the interplay between mathematics and physics. It discusses the dynamics of two-phase systems within the framework of modern continuum thermodynamics. Two general theories are considered and the resulting equations exhibit unstable growth patterns. The free boundary problems that form the basis of the subject should be of great interest to mathematicians and physical scientists.
