- Richness of the problems and examples – numerous contemporary applications have been added, especially in the area of ‘energy and the environment,’ including topics such as solar energy systems, renewable energy systems, and new manufacturing processes
- Additional coverage of environmental issues, included an updated and augmented section on environmental radiation (12.9)
- As appropriate, the topic of thermodynamics has been augmented and carefully blended throughout the text, allowing readers to build upon those concepts and skills.
- Additional focus on and tailoring coverage down to the core fundamental concepts, while clearly indicating content that is either optional and/or more appropriate for a second course
- Modernization and streamlining of the convection correlations helps students focus on the most useful correlations instead of getting lost or confused by the vast quantity of correlations

- New version of Interactive Heat Transfer software - Problems involving complex models and/or exploratory, what-if, and parameter sensitivity considerations can efficiently and accurately be addressed using a computational equation-solving package. IHT has been designed for that specific purpose, and this new version provides a new Quickstart companion guide as well as a new, easier to use navigation scheme
- The definitive text on Heat Transfer, this book continues to be
built around the four central learning objectives, including:
- The reader should internalize the meaning of the terminology and physical principles associated with heat transfer.
- The reader should be able to delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer.
- The reader should be able to use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures
- The reader should be able to develop representative models of real processes and systems and draw conclusions concerning process/system design or performance from the attendant analysis.
- Teaches students the rigorous and systematic problem-solving methodology developed and honed by the Incropera author team
- A wealth of example problems to better show how to apply the material across various engineering disciplines and fields
- Identifies problems that are uniquely suited for solving with a computational software tool, both to increase efficiency and to decrease errors
