Abstract

Introduction to Heat Transfer is a textbook intended for third-year bachelor's students in science and technology, particularly process and mechanical engineering. It presents the fundamental mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and thermal radiation. The book covers Fourier's law, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, composite walls, cylindrical and spherical geometries, and thermal insulation. It also examines natural and forced convection, dimensional analysis, heat transfer in pipes, emissivity, blackbody radiation, and radiative exchange between surfaces. Theoretical explanations are accompanied by worked examples, multiple-choice quizzes, and exercises designed to develop students' ability to solve engineering heat transfer problems.
