🧠 Content Overview

A foundational mid-century engineering text covering all major aspects of heat transfer:

• Conduction, convection, and radiation principles

• Equations for heat transfer in various materials and geometries

• Radiation factors, emissivity, and surface coefficients

• Experimental methods and example calculations

• Illustrated charts, tables, and mathematical derivations throughout

The book served as a standard university reference before Holman’s later Heat Transfer texts.

🧾 Condition

• Covers: Very good — minimal wear, bright gilt lettering, clean cloth boards.

• Binding: Tight and square.

• Pages: Clean with light age toning.

• Notations: Neat handwritten heat transfer and geometry equations on front and rear endpapers, likely from a previous engineering student (adds character and provenance).

• Interior: No loose or missing pages; all text, tables, and illustrations are intact.

🧮 Special Features

• Preface to both First and Second Editions

• Extensive Nomenclature Table for heat-transfer units and symbols

• Graphs and example problems demonstrating conduction, convection, and radiation

• Indexed for academic reference

💡 Collector & Academic Interest

A solid vintage engineering text, ideal for:

• Collectors of McGraw-Hill vintage science/engineering books

• Students and instructors of thermodynamics or mechanical engineering history

• Industrial or university display collections

• Mid-century technical library curation
