Mini-projects involving open ended design considerations and others requiring computer solutions are included. - Home Experiments. A unique set of simple heat transfer experiments designed to be cawied out at home are described. Comparing experimental results with theoretical predictions serves as an effective learning tool.. - Online Solutions Manual. Solutions to problems are intended to serve as an important learning instrument. They follow the problem solving methodology format and are designed for onlineposting. - Online Tutor. A summary of each chapter is prepared for posting. Key points and critical conditions are highlighted and emphasized. - Online Homework Facilitator. To assist students in solving homework problems, helpful hints and relevant observations are compiled for each problem. They can be selectively posted by the instructor. - Outstanding Title.
