FRANK M. WHITE

This book is a revision and extension of Frank White's Heat Transfer. The new text adds the topic of mass transfer and improves the original topics based on new literature and faculty suggestions. A highlight of the book is the addition of 22 new Special Design Projects covering conduction, free and forced convection, radiation, condensation, boiling, and heat exchangers. Numerous examples and problems have been added to the text to make it an improved learning tool.

Frank White's Viscous Fluid Flow, Third Edition, continues to be the market leader in this course area. The text is for a senior pr graduate level elective in Mechanical Engineering, and has a strong professional and international appeal. Author Frank White is has a strong reputation in the field, his book is accurate, conceptually strong, and contains excellent problem sets. A large number of the problems are new to this third edition; a rarity among senior and graduate level textbooks as advanced problems are difficult to create.
