Additional Resources
Textbooks
The following textbooks and handbooks have been placed in the reserve section of the Fondren
Science Library. Although not required reading, the books were selected for their coverage of
topics that may not get sufficient discussion in our textbook. Reserve books may be checked out
for 2 hour periods, but must remain in the library during the checkout time.
Burmeister, L.C. Convective Heat Transfer, Wiley, New York, 1983.
Chapman, A.J., Heat Transfer, 2nd ed., Macmillan, New York, 1967.
Churchill, R.V. and J.W. Brown, Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems, 4th ed.,

Another resource you may find useful is available in electronic form through the SMU library:
Abramowitz, M. and Stegun, I.E. (Eds.), Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas,
Graphs, and Mathematical Tables, US Dept. of Commerce, 1972.
Search Engines
SMU library also has subscriptions to a couple of search tools for finding research literature.
The two that I would recommend are Web of Science and Engineering Village 2. You may find
these search engines useful for class homework and projects, as well as your own research. To
find the journals, go to http://poni.smu.edu , click on “Online Resources” and then click on “W”
or “E” to go skip to the appropriate section of the alphabetical list of resources. Both of these
search tools allow you to search by author, keywords, titles, etc. If you find an article which
appears in a journal for which SMU does not subscribe (see Journals, below), then you may
request
a
photocopy
through
the
InterLibrary
Loan
service
(http://www.smu.edu/cul/ill/ILLiadindex.html).
Journals
The SMU library has subscriptions to several journals which cover convection heat transfer
research. You may find these journals useful for homework, projects, or for your own research.
If you perform a literature search on a heat transfer topic using Web of Science or Engineering
Village 2, you will find that many of the publications are found in the journals listed below. To

find the journals, go to http://poni.smu.edu , type in the journal name into the “Quick Search”
box, select “Journal Title” on the right, and click “Go”. The journal information will be returned
to you, including the call number, and a link to the on-line subscription if available.

Some of these subscriptions are electronic, allowing you to view the publication on-line. If you
attempt to view an on-line journal from an off-campus location, you will be asked for the barcode number on the back of your student ID.
