Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer, 8th Edition, authored by Theodore L. Bergman, Adrienne S. Lavine, Frank P. Incropera, and David P. DeWitt, is an academic textbook dedicated to heat and mass transport processes. The volume presents principles governing thermal energy transport and species migration, helping students and instructors systematically analyze physical systems.

The main structure addresses energy transport across multiple modes, detailing one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and transient heat conduction prior to introducing convection concepts. Subsequent chapters examine external fluid flows, internal fluid flows, free convection phenomena, boiling and condensation mechanisms, heat exchangers, thermal radiation processes and properties, radiation exchange between surfaces, and mass transfer by diffusion.

To assist with technical calculations, Interactive Heat Transfer Software is available to provide computational capabilities for evaluating heat transfer equations across varied engineering scenarios. This computational utility offers analytical functions for addressing complex thermal problems, supporting both structured classroom instruction and independent study.
