About this ebook

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer 8th Edition has been the gold standard of heat transfer pedagogy for many decades, with a commitment to continuous improvement by four authors’ with more than 150 years of combined experience in heat transfer education, research and practice. Applying the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology that this text pioneered an abundance of examples and problems reveal the richness and beauty of the discipline. This edition makes heat and mass transfer more approachable by giving additional emphasis to fundamental concepts, while highlighting the relevance of two of today's most critical issues: energy and the environment.

Ratings and reviews

Great textbook and works well as an ebook. I've only encountered two issues, both of which are minor. 1. After zooming, the images are fuzzy. However, reloading the webpage fixes the clarity. 2. The contents for navigation only include chapters, not subheadings, so it can take a bit longer to navigate than it would otherwise.

I didn't buy this book from Google, got it elsewhere for probably cheaper. However, I do really like this textbook. It is almost like a "user manual" for various heat transfer scenarios! It is clear, and understandable for someone who is just learning the fundamentals of heat and mass transfer! Great book.

While the book itself is good, the image quality of this google copy is absolutely horrible. Unfortunately, I regret purchasing it this way.
