Elements of Heat Transfer, 2e
暫譯: 熱傳遞要素（第二版）

這本教科書作為熱傳遞的綜合指南，涵蓋了本科生和研究生課程的理論與應用方面。它介紹了基本原則、熱力學和熱傳遞過程，包括導熱、對流、輻射、質量傳遞、蒸發、冷凝和熱交換器。

Ethirajan Rathakrishnan is a professor of Aerospace Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. He is well known internationally for his research in the area of high-speed jets. The limit for the passive control of jets, called the Rathakrishnan Limit, is his contribution to the field of jet research, and the concept of breathing blunt nose (BBN), which simultaneously reduces the positive pressure at the nose and increases the low pressure at the base, is his contribution to drag reduction at hypersonic speeds. Positioning the twin-vortex Reynolds number at around 5000, by changing the geometry from a cylinder, for which the maximum limit for the Reynolds number for positioning the twin-vortex was found to be around 160, by von Karman, to a flat plate, is his addition to vortex flow theory. He has published a large number of research articles in many reputed international journals. He is a Fellow of many professional societies including the Royal Aeronautical Society. Rathakrishnan serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Aerospace Engineering (IREASE) and International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME) journals.

Ethirajan Rathakrishnan 是印度坎普爾印度理工學院的航空工程教授。他因在高速噴流領域的研究而享有國際聲譽。他對噴流研究的貢獻之一是被稱為 Rathakrishnan 限制的被動控制噴流的極限，而他對減少超音速速度下阻力的貢獻則是「呼吸鈍鼻」（breathing blunt nose, BBN）的概念，該概念同時減少了噴嘴處的正壓並增加了基部的低壓。他通過將幾何形狀從圓柱體改變為平板，將雙渦流雷諾數定位在約 5000，這是他對渦流流動理論的貢獻，因為 von Karman 發現雙渦流的雷諾數最大限制約為 160。他在許多知名國際期刊上發表了大量研究文章。他是多個專業學會的會士，包括皇家航空學會。Rathakrishnan 擔任《國際航空工程評論》（International Review of Aerospace Engineering, IREASE）和《國際機械工程評論》（International Review of Mechanical Engineering, IREME）期刊的主編。
