Covers pool boiling curves, critical heat flux, and film boiling.
: A dedicated chapter on mass transfer, highlighting its mathematical analogies to heat transfer processes.
View factor (shape factor) algebra for calculating radiative exchange between surfaces.
Industrial systems frequently rely on boiling and condensation. The textbook introduces:
The book has been published in multiple editions over the years, demonstrating its lasting relevance and continuous improvement. Here's a brief timeline of the major editions:
The book is organized to build the student's understanding from the ground up, progressing from fundamental laws to advanced applications. It features a total of and several appendices.
I can provide tailored practice questions or break down complex formulas for you. Share public link
Radiative exchange between surfaces using view factors (shape factors).
Every chapter is backed by numerous step-by-step solved problems that bridge theoretical formulas with physical engineering realities.
S.P. Sukhatme’s A Textbook on Heat Transfer is a classic engineering resource known for its lucid, self-explanatory style. It emphasizes the fundamental laws of heat transfer as both a "science and an art," making it a staple for undergraduate and postgraduate students in mechanical, chemical, and metallurgical engineering.
