Holman received the Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University.AftertwoyearsasaresearchscientistattheWrightAerospaceResearch Laboratory, he joined the faculty of Southern Methodist University, where he is presentlyProfessorEmeritusofMechanicalEngineering.Hehasalsoheldadminis- trativepositionsasDirectoroftheThermalandFluidSciencesCenter,Headofthe Civil and Mechanical Engineering Department, and Assistant Provost for Instruc- tional Media. During his tenure at SMU he has been voted the outstanding faculty memberbythestudentbody13times. Dr. Holman has published over 30 papers in several areas of heat transfer and his three widely used textbooks, Heat Transfer (10th edition, 2010), Experimental MethodsforEngineers(7thedition,2001),andThermodynamics(4thedition,1988), all published by McGraw-Hill, have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Indonesian, and are distributed worldwide. He is alsotheauthoroftheutilitarianmonographWhatEveryEngineerShouldKnowAbout EXCEL(2006), published by CRC Press. Dr. Holman also consults for industry in thefieldsofheattransferandenergysystems. AmemberofASEE,heispastChairmanoftheNationalMechanicalEngineering DivisionandpastchairmanoftheASMERegionXMechanicalEngineeringDepart- ment Heads. Dr. Holman is a Fellow of ASME and recipient of several national awards:theGeorgeWestinghouseAwardfromASEEfordistinguishedcontributions to engineering education (1972), the James Harry Potter Gold Medal fromASME forcontributionstothermodynamics(1986),theWorcesterReedWarnerGoldMedal fromASMEforoutstandingcontributionstothepermanentliteratureofengineering (1987),andtheRalphCoatsRoeAwardfromASEEastheoutstandingmechanical engineeringeducatoroftheyear(1995).In1993hewastherecipientoftheLohmann Medal from Oklahoma State University, awarded annually to a distinguished engineeringalumnusofthatinstitution. v hhooll2299330033__FFMM__ii--xxxx..ppddff 55 88//1122//22001111 33::2255::5522 PPMM Contents Chapter 1 3.9 ComparisonofDatawithNormal Introduction 1
