Go to a libary and get a book out on heat and mass transfer (prefaerably the introductorary version).
I would recommend this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...83155&v=glance
(get a second hand version)
Any textbook for undergrad engineers on fluid mech and heat transfer would be a good place to start but this is an entire area of science that you could barely cover anything in an entire uni course.
Could also try the g7 thread for more info as well.
