New Heat Transfer Reference Book Available Free on Web

摘要

I would like to take the opportunity to draw the attention of the heat transfer community to my new heat transfer reference book, now available for free on the web: the Engineering Data Book Ⅲ of Wolverine Tube, Inc. It is available at the website http://www.wlv.com/products under the heading Design Tools. This is a completely new edition of the widely used Engineering Data Book Ⅱ that was written by Prof. K. J. Bell (founding editor of this journal) and Dr. A. C. Mueller (a long-time associate editor of this journal) in 1984, originally distributed by Wolverine Tube in a notebook format and now also available electronically at the same website. Their second edition contains much valuable basic information that has not been repeated in the third edition; hence, I recommend readers also to have a look at that version, available for free at the same website. The basic objective of this new edition is to make a practical reference book readily available on the heat transfer community's desktop, especially for those outside the university environment (one of the principal audiences of Heat Transfer Engineering).
