Heat Conduction

Heat Conduction

<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:<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><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.
