An Introduction to Mass and Heat Transfer : Principles of Analysis and Design > Customer Review #1:
Save your money and many hours of your life.

This book makes people want to quit undergraduate chemical engineering at my school. Id rather do slave work in a mineshaft than to try to read this dry and abstruse book again! What a waste of peoples lives when professors force their students to try to learn from this book. The subject matter itself should be challenging part and not the presentation. You know, I think when authors spent too many years using the concepts, they feel like what is obvious to them is good enough for any novice to understand. I felt like I had to translate heiroglyphics and learn fluid dynamics at the same time. Of course, I dont mean to be so depressing and leave anyone hanging. A good book like Fundamentals of HeatandMass Transfer should be like a day at disneyland compared to this book. Schaums outlines can be quite nice too. Good luck!

Different from the others

I agree with some of the other reviewers that there are notoriously few books on heat and mass transfer which are not heavy on mathematics -- which has to do with the subject! However, Middlemans book stands out in another respect: it tries to balance the motivation behind the maths with the mathematical derivations themselves and is therefore much more self-contained than many others. Personally, I found the use of non-SI units annoying, but that may not be a problem for US readers.

Terrible

I think its not an introduction but messy complexd.
This book require too much mathmatical background in despite of
an introduction.
I dont want to recommand this book to beginner
