Product Description
The standard for mastering heat and mass transfer
Respected for its readability, comprehensiveness, and relevance, Incropera and DeWitt's text is the recognized standard for learning heat and mass transfer. This text combines detailed coverage with the resources students need to learn the concepts and apply them to solving realistic and relevant problems. Using a rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology, the text is filled with examples and problems that reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline.
The 6th Edition introduces coauthors Ted Bergman and Adrienne Lavine, who bring their record of success in teaching and research in heat and mass transfer to the text.
New Features
* Expanded coverage of areas of recent interest in heat transfer, including fuel cells and alternative energy devices, electronics cooling, micro-scale heat transfer, and biological as well as bioheat transfer. New examples and homework problems are included for each area.
* Introduction to the concepts of nano-scale transport and unified treatment of transient conduction.
* New material on two-phase heat transfer and enhanced internal forced convection.
* New and revised presentation of mass transfer including applications in materials science and biological engineering.
* New, revised, and updated problems and examples.
Model, solve, and explore heat transfer problems:
Interactive Heat Transfer and Finite Element Heat Transfer software with User's Guide
CD and print booklet, ISBN: 0-471-76115-X
Completely updated with a modern graphical user interface and better graphing tools, Interactive Heat Transfer (IHT) software will help you learn how to build thermal models, solve specific conditions, and explore the effects of multiple parameter variations. IHT is now capable of solving 300+ equations. The Finite Element Heat Transfer software enhances capabilities for treating steady-state and transient one- and two-dimensional conduction problems.

 Pretty good overall November 7, 2008
E. Schwalbach
This text is a pretty good introduction to the subject of heat transfer, and contains a good combination of theoretical treatment as well as practical empirical information (lots of data tables and useful equations etc.). However, the consideration of mass transfer, particularly by diffusion, is very weak. If you are seriously interested in this phenomenon, I would look elsewhere.
 Great Book October 31, 2008
Angel L. Fraguada (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico)
You will not regret investing your money on this one. Textbooks are an investment, and this is a good one. The fact that so many universities have adopted this text suggests how great it is.
The only thing i think would make this book even better would be to add an online feature or cd that contains all graphs presented within the book. To solve problems and for general use these graphs are of much importance and having a digital copy of them would mean being able to print them out and scribble on them as much as needed. Other than that, you will enjoy reading this book and if you're like me you won't consider selling it after taking the class.
P.S: This won't be the easiest course you will encounter.
Awesome book, very easy to follow January 21, 2006

This book is very easy to use. all the chapters are well written and very easy to follow. If you want a book that covers heat transfer that is great for a class or great for reference then this is it.
Libro muy util December 10, 2005

Este libro lo conoci al cursar la licenciatura en FIMEE, ahora que lo compre opte por la 5a Ed que esta mejorado. Es muy util para asimilar los conceptos y entender los fenomenos. Me gusta mucho por que creo que esta muy completo y se explica muy bien. Es un libro que todos los Ing. Mecanicos deben tener. Los ejercicios son muy variados y de amplias aplicaciones, ello permite ver la amplitud de estudio de esta area de la ing. Vale la pena comprarlo (les sugiero la version en ingles).
GUZZZ
The book is so good you can teach yourself November 6, 2005

This textbook is one of the best I've ever used. Incropera and DeWitt do a great job of explaining convection, conduction, and radiation. I have heard that the mass transfer portion of the book is lacking however, I am an ME major so its not an issue. The covering of conduction is especially good, it goes into great detail math wise although its well presented so you don't have to be a mathematical wizard to follow along. The book goes into a little bit of heat exchanger design, not very much but its a good introduction. If your instructor requires this book for your heat transfer class consider yourself very fortunate.
