商品簡介
Through analyses, experimental results, and worked-out numerical examples, this book explores the methods and observations of thermophysical phenomena in size-affected domains. Compiling relevant findings from the literature, along with results from their own research activities, the authors treat the main concepts and practical design engineering aspects of heat transfer. They discuss various modern engineering applications, such as microchannel heat sinks, micro heat exchangers, and micro heat pipes. They also cover methods such as discrete computation, and optical measurement techniques for microscale applications. Fundamentals of nanoscale thermal phenomena in fluids are also presented. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to numerical examples of microscale conduction, convective heat transfer, and radiation, as well as nanoscale thermal phenomena.
