Heat Conduction

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p><b>The long-awaited revision of the bestseller on heat conduction</b></p> <p><i>Heat Conduction, Third Edition</i> is an update of the classic text on heat conduction, replacing some of the coverage of numerical methods with content on micro- and nanoscale heat transfer. With an emphasis on the mathematics and underlying physics, this new edition has considerable depth and analytical rigor, providing a systematic framework for each solution scheme with attention to boundary conditions and energy conservation. Chapter coverage includes:</p> <ul> <li>Heat conduction fundamentals</li> <li>Orthogonal functions, boundary value problems, and the Fourier Series</li> <li>The separation of variables in the rectangular coordinate system</li> <li>The separation of variables in the cylindrical coordinate system</li> <li>The separation of variables in the spherical coordinate system</li> <li>Solution of the heat equation for semi-infinite and infinite domains</li> <li>The use of Duhamel's theorem</li> <li>The use of Green's function for solution of heat conduction</li> <li>The use of the Laplace transform</li> <li>One-dimensional composite medium</li> <li>Moving heat source problems</li> <li>Phase-change problems</li> <li>Approximate analytic methods</li> <li>Integral-transform technique</li> <li>Heat conduction in anisotropic solids</li> <li>Introduction to microscale heat conduction</li> </ul> <p>In addition, new capstone examples are included in this edition and extensive problems, cases, and examples have been thoroughly updated. A solutions manual is also available.</p> <p><i>Heat Conduction</i> is appropriate reading for students in mainstream courses of conduction heat transfer, students in mechanical engineering, and engineers in research and design functions throughout industry.</p>
