Process Heat Transfer

It is the object of this text to provide fundamental instruction in heat transfer while employing the methods and language of industry. This treatment of the subject has evolved from a course given at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn over a period of years. The possibilities of collegiate instruction patterned after the requirements of the practicing process engineer were suggested and encouraged by Dr.Donald F.Othmer, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering. The inclusion of the practical aspects of the subject as an integral part of the pedagogy was intended to serve as a supplement rather than a substitute for a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals. These points of view have been retained throughout the writing of the book.
