Best your going to find Having seen many texts on transport phenomena, Mills is definitely one of the best. Heat and mass transfer is a jumble of many different topics and applications, but Mills manages to give the subject some cohesion and derives most important results from the basic conservation equations. Heat and mass transfer are inherently convoluted because they so frequently fuse theoretical and experimental ideas. Anyone who complains about this text has not seen the other crap that lurks out there. The problem with most of these cover-all textbooks is they cram too much into one text and lack a logical progression of ideas. Nonetheless, Mills is probably the best book out there for an undergrad introductory transport class. | ||
Excellent Text I had the plesure of using this book while an undergrad at UCLA taking both the transport class and an intermediate heat transfer class with Professor Mills. He, like his text, were thorough and to the point. I never found myself lost in his book due to his excellent explanations on difficult subject matter. Don't expect this subject to be easy - it's anything but that. However, this book does an excellent job of treating many complicated physical systems as well as can be expected. | ||
Not a bad choice for an undergrad text This was the book used when I took heat transfer. I found it to be a good supplement to the lectures and do still refer to it. I wish Mills spent more time on using numerical analysis. Like Any text book it has to be opened and read to be useful | ||
HEAT TRANSFER Este libro trata los tres fenomenos de transferencia de calor: Conveccion, Conduccion y Radiacion | ||
Great for those in physics This is a problem solver book with few diagrams and a lot of newspaper-type pages. The text is blochy heavy seriffed and is difficult to read. I have opened it once, maybe twice. Like your typical problem solvers, you can now find a lot of solutions (even to your specific problem) on the web...for free. There are a lot of equations and theories, but not enough useful stuff for applying these equations to conditions in the real world. The equations are not numbered well and it is impossilbe to tell between interemediate derivations and the final useful equations. Unless your deep into this stuff, it is not for the typical engineer. | ||
