Features: This book is compiled based on the original Basic Requirements for Heat Transfer Course Teaching issued by the former State Education Commission, combined with the characteristics of the Marine Engineering major and the authors' many years of teaching and teaching reform practice. The system and arrangement of this book align with the reform trends of thermal engineering series courses in the 21st century; the content is closely integrated with engineering practice, focusing on the cultivation of students' abilities; each chapter is accompanied by examples, summaries, thinking questions, and exercises, with appendices and reference answers to exercises at the end of the book for convenient self-study. The book consists of nine chapters, with the first eight chapters forming the core content of the course, including conduction heat transfer, convective heat transfer, radiation heat transfer, overall heat transfer processes, and heat exchangers, while the ninth chapter aims to broaden students' perspectives by introducing several specialized topics in heat transfer. This book is part of Shanghai's "Tenth Five-Year Plan" key teaching materials for ordinary universities, and can be used as a textbook for marine engineering majors in higher education institutions. It can also serve as a teaching reference book for other related majors such as Thermal Energy and Power Engineering, or for reference by relevant engineering technicians.
