Heat Transfer Phenomena

Fülszöveg

This book differs from others in the same field in that it treats Heat Transfer as a particular example of the class of transport phenomena. The author deals first with the properties of this class of phenomena and shows how these properties can be modified by the nature of the various features of the transport process; such as the number of individual units responsible for transport, and the speed and geometry of the paths traced by these units.
The classical sub-divisions of heat transfer; conduction, radiation and various forms of convection, are then explained as particular types of transport processes. More complicated phenomena are treated as processes involving the simultaneous transport of heat and one or more other properties.
The book is completed with a discussion on the usefulness of, and limitations on, the application of methods of similarity to heat and other transport phenomena.
Apart from the unified presentation of all the different aspects of Heat Transfer... Tovább

Apart from the unified presentation of all the different aspects of Heat Transfer Phenomena, which is of particular interest to those concerned with teaching—particularly at the graduate level—and to those concerned with research in allied subjects; the volume gives a concise account of all the more important recent advances in our knowledge of heat flow and as such should be of particular interest to the Technologist, the Mechanical or Chemical Engineer, the Industrial Chemist and the Applied Physicist.
