Adrian Bejan 
Convection Heat Transfer 

A new edition of the bestseller on convection heat
transfer

A revised edition of the industry classic, Convection Heat
Transfer, Fourth Edition, chronicles how the field of heat
transfer has grown and prospered over the last two decades. This
new edition is more accessible, while not sacrificing its thorough
treatment of the most up-to-date information on current research
and applications in the field.

One of the foremost leaders in the field, Adrian Bejan has
pioneered and taught many of the methods and practices commonly
used in the industry today. He continues this book’s long-standing
role as an inspiring, optimal study tool by providing:

* Coverage of how convection affects performance, and how
convective flows can be configured so that performance is
enhanced

* How convective configurations have been evolving, from the flat
plates, smooth pipes, and single-dimension fins of the earlier
editions to new populations of configurations: tapered ducts,
plates with multiscale features, dendritic fins, duct and plate
assemblies (packages) for heat transfer density and compactness,
etc.

* New, updated, and enhanced examples and problems that reflect
the author’s research and advances in the field since the last
edition

* A solutions manual

Complete with hundreds of informative and original
illustrations, Convection Heat Transfer, Fourth Edition is
the most comprehensive and approachable text for students in
schools of mechanical engineering.

A propos de l’auteur

ADRIAN BEJAN, Ph D, is the J. A. Jones Professor of
Mechanical Engineering at Duke University. An internationally
recognized authority on heat transfer and thermodynamics, Bejan has
pioneered the methods of entropy generation minimization, scale
analysis, heatlines and masslines, intersection of asymptotes,
dendritic architectures, and the constructal law of design in
nature. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Max
Jakob Memorial Award (ASME & AICHE), the Worcester Reed Warner
Medal (ASME), and the Ralph Coats Roe Award (ASEE). He is the
author of twenty-five books and 550 journal articles, and is listed
among the 100 most-cited engineering researchers (all disciplines,
all countries). He has been awarded sixteen honorary doctorates by
universities in eleven foreign countries.
