This book provides engineers with the tools to solve real-world heat transfer problems. It includes advanced topics not covered in other books on the subject.
The examples are complex and timely problems that are inherently interesting. This is a modern, example-driven introductory textbook on heat transfer, with modern applications, written by a renowned scholar. How do mammals manage to maintain their body temperature within the same narrow range in environments as different as polar regions and hot deserts?
This advanced text describes the morphological features and physiological mechanisms by which humans and other mammals maintain their body temperature within a narrow range despite large variations in climatic conditions and internal heat production.
Its 19 chapters deal with the physics of heat exchange with the environment, and the autonomic and behavioural mechanisms available to control the loss and production of heat. The neuronal basis of temperature regulation and current concepts of the central nervous interface between temperature signals generated in the body and control mechanisms are examined in detail. This book is of invaluable help for undergraduates, postgraduates, teachers, physicians and scientists.
The chapter also considers an internal heat source linearly reliant on temperature. The second chapter focuses on the sensitivity of the numerical modeling technique for conjugate heat transfer involving high speed compressible flow over a cylinder. The last chapter presents an overview of the fundamental solution FS based finite element method FEM and its application in heat conduction problems. First, basic formulations of FS-FEM are presented, such as the nonconforming intra-element field, auxiliary conforming frame field, modified variational principle, and stiffness equation.
Then, the FS-FE formulation for heat conduction problems in cellular solids with circular holes, functionally graded materials, and natural-hemp-fiber-filled cement composites are described" Heat is often hidden, as it only exists when in transit, and is transferred by a number of distinctly different methods. Heat transfer touches every aspect of our lives and helps us understand how the universe functions.
It explains the chill we feel on a clear breezy night, or why Earth's core has yet to cool. This book defines and explores heat transfer, its effects, and the methods by which heat is transferred. The book provides an easy way to understand the fundamentals of heat transfer. The reader will acquire the ability to design and analyze heat exchangers. Without extensive derivation of the fundamentals, the latest correlations for heat transfer coefficients and their application are discussed.
The following topics are presented - Steady state and transient heat conduction - Free and forced convection - Finned surfaces - Condensation and boiling - Radiation - Heat exchanger design - Problem-solving After introducing the basic terminology, the reader is made familiar with the different mechanisms of heat transfer.
Their practical application is demonstrated in examples, which are available in the Internet as MathCad files for further use. Tables of material properties and formulas for their use in programs are included in the appendix.

All processes that act on this energy are ultimately governed by the rates at which various physical phenomena occur, such as the rate of particle collisions in classical mechanics.
It is the combination of these various processes and their governing rates within a particular system that determines the overall system behavior, such as the net rate of energy storage or transport. Controlling every process, from the atomic level studied here to the macroscale covered in an introductory heat transfer course , are the laws of thermodynamics, including conservation of energy.
The focus of this text is on the heat transfer behavior the storage, transport, and transformation of thermal energy of the aforementioned principal energy carriers at the atomic scale.
The approach taken here is to begin with a survey of fundamental concepts of atomic-level physics. This includes looking at the energy within the electronic states of atoms, as well as interatomic forces and potentials. Various theories of molecular dynamics and transport will also be described. Following this overview, in-depth, quantitative analyses will be performed for each of the principal energy carriers, including analysis of how they interact with each other.
This combination should allow for the teaching of a thorough introduction of heat transfer physics within one semester, without prolonged preparation or significant prerequisites.
No prior knowledge of these is necessary to appreciate the material of this text a knowledge of introductory heat transfer is assumed. Crystalline solids and their vibrational and electronic energies are treated first. This is followed by energies of fluid particles and their interactions with solid surfaces. Then the interactions of photons with matter are posed with photons as EM waves, or as particles, or as quasi-particles.
