Great Text - "Cheap" Physical Quality.......2006-08-15

One would think for $150, this book could have been printed on heavier weight and better quality paper. Either Wiley went overboard in trying to lighten physical weight for the student to carry, or they're trying to sqeeze even more money from already ultra-high book price mark-ups.

I also have the Fourth Edition -- That book has a heavier cover and tough paper pages. With this one, you need to be careful not to tear the pages, and forget highlighting as the ink will soak though 2 - 3 of the pages underneath. Dampness/humidity ... the pages warp and wrinkle.

The text itself is top-notch.

heat exchangers.......2005-07-25

heat transfer, exchange of energy in the form of heat between bodies or parts of the same body at different temperature. heat is transferred by convection, radiation, or conduction. although these three processes can occur simultaneously, it is not unusual for one mechanism to overshadow the other two. for example, heat is transferred predominantly by conduction through the brick wall of a house, a pan of water on a stove is largely heated by convection and eart receives heat from the sun almost wholly by radiation.
heat exchangers are devices that provide the flowage thermal energy between two or more fluids at different temperature.

Great Book.......2005-04-17

I don't usually write reviews of books that I have purchased but I felt that I had to for this one. Does a great job in explaining the concepts and doesn't leave you lost as it moves through the chapters. It is written clearly and very easy to follow. The answers(not the worked out solutions) are avaliable on the company's website. (....)

Blind Alleys in the desert of dispair.......2002-12-15

The text provided a good basic explanation of the theories.My book was missing vital table A-1!!-thank-you-very-much!.No response from the company!
Here,s the problem;You read the book,you are attentive at the lecture,you can't do the homework,you get the solutions to the homework,you still can't do the homework!For this book to be effective, an extensive supplemental solved problems programmed learning document must be authored! Silly me,I thought study hard be successful!Ha.Ha.Ha!

Descriptive.......2001-04-09

As far as textbooks go, I thought this was an excellent one. The text itself is useful, the example problems are relevant to the problems related to each chapter, and the theory is clearly mapped out.

Book Description

Work more effectively and gauge your progress as you go along! This Student Study Guide and Solutions Manual has been developed by the publisher as a supplement to accompany Incropera’s Fundamentals of Heat & Mass Transfer, 5th Edition and Introduction to Heat & Mass Transfer, 4th Edition. It contains a summary of key concepts from each chapter, fully worked solutions to representative problems from the text and in many cases includes exploration of a solution over a range of values using the software package Interactive Heat Transfer, v2.0.

This supplement is intended to help students focus on the key concepts from the text, verify their solutions by comparing them to the authors' own worked solutions and use computer tools to explore the behavior of the systems in question. Each worked solution follows the structured problem solving approach from the text. Comments throughout the solution help in explaining the thought process and a ‘Comments’ section at the end of each solutions discusses reasonableness and/or implications of the answer.

Introduction to Heat Transfer, 4th Edition – the de facto standard text for heat transfer – is noted for its readability, comprehensiveness and relevancy. Now revised to include clarified learning objectives, chapter summaries and many new problems. The fourth edition, like previous editions, continues to support four student learning objectives, desired attributes of any first course in heat transfer:

1. Learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer.

2. Use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures.

3. Develop representative models of real processes and systems.

4. Draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analysis.

Hit and miss.......2006-11-03

I used this book for my course in Materials Thermodynamics, and I must say that it's got some pretty good material and also some poor parts. In particular Gaskell usually does a good job of explaining his derivations, but there are times when the typographic errors get in the way and you sit there for an hour, until your teacher finally tells you that Gaskell made a mistake.

Another annoyance is that Gaskell's solutions in the back of the book are sometimes wrong, which means that it may be difficult to use a self-teaching book. In addition, Gaskell's solutions to some configurational entropy problems are just completely unconventional and nonsensical from an intuitive standpoint -- my teacher told us to disregard his method entirely.

The text does have some pluses: it has plentiful diagrams, excellent thermodynamic appendicies, and in general does a good job of rigorously explaining every concept. It's definitely not a beginner's book, but Thermodynamics is a complex topic and there are certain assumptions made of the reader in any Thermodynamics textbook.

Hard text.......2006-10-23

Thermodynamics is one of those topics covered in multiple branches of science such as physics, chemistry, geology, materials science, chemical engineering, etc... This book approaches the subject from materials science and is meant to serve as the book for a one or two semester course in thermo. First of, it is not meant for beginners to thermo. I used this book in a course taught by one of the best instructors in my department, after having taken two easier courses in thermo. Yet I still found it difficult. Second, the math is advanced enough that one should not take the course without having differential equations. Third, the example problems can get quite difficult real quickly; and not all have solutions. But overall, the text is a good reflection of the subject; difficult and time-consuming to master.

Not a great text.......2005-12-13

I used this text in a thermo of materials course after using the Gyftopoulos text for a general thermo course. In comparison, I found the Gaskell text horrible. For a 4th ed, there are a tremendous number of typos and equation errors, the nomenclature is a little odd, and the equations aren't general, they inherently assume P = 1atm etc. I don't recommend this text.

not timely delivered, the condition of the book is not good.......2005-09-22

not timely delivered, the condition of the book is not good

Very well focused.......2005-09-13

This book is a very good one very well focused on the thermodynamics of materials. I highly recommend it and I use it for the Materials Science Master degree program at University of Juarez

Book Description

This graduate-level textbook provides an introduction to the practical application of phase diagrams. It is intended for students and researchers in chemistry, metallurgy, mineralogy, and materials science as well as in engineering and physics. Heterogeneous equilibria are described by a minimum of theory illustrated by practical examples and realistic case discussions from the different fields of application. The treatment of the physical and energetic background of phase equilibria leads to the discussion of the thermodynamics of mixtures and the correlation between energetics and composition. Thus, tools for the prediction of energetic, structural, and physical quantities are provided. The authors treat the nucleation of phase transitions, the production and stability of technologically important metastable phases, and metallic glasses. Furthermore, the text also concisely presents the thermodynamics and composition of polymer systems.

Fundamentals and practical applications of diffraction for researchers, engineers, and students
Materials science relies heavily on diffraction for the analysis of materials. Introduction to Diffraction in Materials Science and Engineering is a survey of the practical aspects of this valuable tool. Though it contains basic discussion of the theory and physics of diffraction, this book emphasizes understanding and the practical application of diffraction in materials science-making it a valuable text and resource for students, professionals, and researchers.
Designed as a teaching and self-study text, this resource begins with a treatment of the fundamentals of crystallography and crystal structure and its importance in diffraction before moving on to cover important aspects of diffraction applications. Numerous examples and problems at the end of each chapter, including critical thinking questions, make this an excellent tool for learning and understanding. The book includes treatments of:
* Basics of crystallography
* Geometrical representation of crystals and reciprocal space
* X-rays and neutrons
* Structure factors and intensity
* Powder diffraction
* Qualitative (Powder Diffraction File) and quantitative phase analysis
