Download or read book Principles of Heat and Mass Transfer written by Annika Brayan and published by Larsen and Keller Education. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer is a sub-field of thermal engineering, which deals with the generation, conversion, use and exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, advection and radiation. It is crucial for phase transition in a thermodynamic system from one state of matter to the other. Heat transfer has wide applications in insulation, thermal management of electronic devices and systems, materials processing, etc. Mass transfer refers to the net movement of mass from one location to another. It may occur due to the processes of precipitation, absorption, evaporation, distillation, etc. Mass transfer is used widely in separations engineering, reaction engineering, heat transfer engineering, etc. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of heat and mass transfer. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and studies have been included in this book. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
