Heat Transfer

This work treats consecutively the three divisions of transferring energy: by conduction, radiation and convection, each requiring specific modelling. The book begins with a comprehensive introduction to the subject, and finishes with basic data designed for applications and research. This is a clear and concise reference book for design and R & D engineers, and for undergraduate/postgraduate courses in heat transfer and advanced thermodynamics, on mechanical, chemical, nuclear, marine and general engineering degrees. Features include - the latest techniques and recent developments in energy transfer; promotes the understanding of thermal phenomena in order to control them; introduced actual methods of turbulent convection for industrial applications; relates to the critical coupling between convection and radiation in semi-transparent media.
