"Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer is a textbook that introduces students to the physical mechanisms of convective heat transfer and teaches them how to build mathematical models of physical processes. By emphasizing software methods throughout, the book provides a new perspective on convective heat transfer. Twelve chapters focus on fundamental concepts and are integrated with explanations of computational programs like MATLAB and MAPLE. This approach shifts the emphasis from mathematical details to physical analysis and helps students learn how to use all of the computational tools available to them to solve problems as quickly and accurately as possible. Each chapter is accompanied by numerous examples, developing the reader's learning capabilities and a deeper understanding of the text"-- Provided by publisher.
