heat transfer textbook

A heat transfer textbook explains how thermal energy moves between objects and within materials. It covers three main ways: conduction (direct transfer through solids), convection (transfer through fluids like air or water), and radiation (transfer via electromagnetic waves, like sunlight). The book teaches how to analyze and predict these processes using principles of physics and mathematics, helping engineers design systems like better insulation, heating, and cooling devices, or understand natural phenomena. It balances theoretical concepts with practical applications to improve energy efficiency and safety across many industries.
