1: Heat Transfer in English
This book, I found to be very clear to follow on what's going on. Now that I think about it. This is quite pointless to write a review. Your professor assigns the book and you buy it. But to the professors. A book like this one that goes over the theory clearly and worked out examples in the text, is a clear winner.

2: Great Text - "Cheap" Physical Quality
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.

3: heat exchangers
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.

4: Great Book
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. (....)

5: Blind Alleys in the desert of dispair
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!
