Heat Transfer

Abstract

Heat transfer is directly related to numerous problems in many engineering and scientific applications. It is perhaps the most important, as well as the most applied process, in refining, gas processing, and chemical and petrochemical plants. This course on heat transfer is intended for second-year students in process engineering, as well as anyone who needs to acquire a foundation in this discipline. It conforms to the official curriculum issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. Through the various chapters, the reader will be introduced to the modes of heat transfer. They will thus be able to identify the mechanisms and calculate the quantities of thermal energy that migrate from one medium to another.
