This book aims to present theoretical, and practical, knowledge, of heat convection in fluids, in a clear and comprehensive manner and to highlight the fundamentals as well as the practical and mainstream applications, of the subject.
No assumptions are made about previous familiarity with the subject.
Illustrative problems, as worked examples, are given both within and at the end of the chapters with the intention of helping the student internalise the conceptual, practical and industrial applications of heat convection in fluids.
A number of Appendices outlines the mathematical derivations of the more important equations of heat convection, provides numerical and empirical data of useful, physical, and thermal, properties of materials, commonly encountered in industrial heat convection and makes exploratory excursions into putting in perspective typical theoretical physics concepts of space, time, mechanics, and thermodynamics which underpin the subject.
