I used this textbook for a few years when teaching a course in heat and mass transfer. The heat transfer parts are some of the best I’ve seen. Very clear explanations and great diagrams. The mass transfer material is not all that great. The authors are mechanical engineers but mass transfer is really the domain of chemical engineers. They’re not as often clear (or even totally correct) in the mass transfer sections. There used to be a heat transfer only version of this textbook which might be a better buy. For mass transfer I would use any established chemical engineering textbook.

This is an excellent text for the heat transfer novice, both as a supplement to a class and as a personal teaching tool. The writing is easy to understand, and the chapters are arranged logically. The examples are well chosen and usually demonstrate how the theory and equations can be put to good use.I have only two complaints about this text: There are far too few sample problems (and no problems with only answers provided) and the mass transfer is not taught in a useful way. The prior is a failure of many text books, but the latter is a major drawback. Incropera and Dewitt basically say “Mass transfer is the same as heat transfer, except use these units and equations.” All of the mass transfer is tucked into a few chapters, as if it was an afterthought.I recommend this book to anyone interested in the fundamentals of heat transfer, but look elsewhere for a useful introduction to mass transfer.

This is the best all around book on heat transfer I have come across. I have owned the 3rd edition for nearly 10 years and refer to it almost daily in my job (doing heat transfer and fluid flow analysis for a semiconductor equipment company). The theory is clearly explained and well illustrated by many worked examples. The extensive tables of thermal properties in the back are nearly worth the price themselves. I don’t think the serious student of heat transfer can go wrong with this book.

I thought this book covered conduction and convection heat
transfer well, but I thought a better job could have been
done on the section about radiation heat transfer. Perhapes
more examples of radiation problems could have been used to
make the subject more clear.
I thought the mass transfer sections were well written and
easy to understand.
The solution guide to the problems are not available to the
students. As with all engineering books, I think the solution
guides should be available to the students to promote quicker
and more efficient learning.

This is probably the most popular heat transfer textbook for mechanical engineers and with good reason. Material is presented quite clearly and the concepts are presented in an orderly fashion. The authors do not go too deeply into detail so they don’t confuse those just learning the basics.There are good reference lists at the ends of the chapters; this could be used by those wishing to learn more. The materials reference is relatively complete and is, surprisingly, fairly easy to read compared to many properties lists.That said, this book should be updated with more recent applications including those from the electronics packaging field. The section on numerical methods is quite weak and there is no discussion of recent technological advances in heat transport. There probably should be more material added in the heat exchanger/heat sink area for the book to stay relevant to modern problems.I think this is a good reference that you can pull off the shelf years later when you forget some of the basics.
