Heat Transfer

This text for an undergraduate or postgraduate course describes the principles of heat transfer as well as theoretical developments in the field and the latest computational methods. The CD-ROM contains 70 Excel workbooks with property data, formulae, and iterative routines. The workbooks feature dynamically linked graphs to enable numerical experimentation and solutions to systems of equations (encountered in multi-mode heat transfer) and linear and non-linear optimization problems. The first chapters introduce heat transfer principles and numerical and statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel. Subsequent chapters discuss problems and solutions in one- and multi-dimentional conduction, transient conduction, forced and natural convection, thermal radiation, and multi-mode heat transfer. Each chapter concludes with a set of problems and references. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
