This book is a modern presentation exploring the equations that govern heat and momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary-layer flows with small temperature differences and buoyant flows. Numerical solutions are used to illustrate physical behavior and to demonstrate calculation methods. A large number of homework problems and several computer programs based on differential and integral methods are included. An accompanying CD-ROM contains computer programs which are of use to engineers and practitioners.
