Book description
The long-awaited revision of the bestseller on heat conduction
Heat Conduction, Third Edition is an update of the classic text
on heat conduction, replacing some of the coverage of numerical
methods with content on micro- and nanoscale heat transfer. With an
emphasis on the mathematics and underlying physics, this new edition
has considerable depth and analytical rigor, providing a systematic
framework for each solution scheme with attention to boundary
conditions and energy conservation. Chapter coverage includes:
- Heat conduction fundamentals
- Orthogonal functions, boundary value problems, and the Fourier Series
- The separation of variables in the rectangular coordinate system
- The separation of variables in the cylindrical coordinate system
- The separation of variables in the spherical coordinate system
- Solution of the heat equation for semi-infinite and infinite domains
- The use of Duhamel's theorem
- The use of Green's function for solution of heat conduction
- The use of the Laplace transform
- One-dimensional composite medium
- Moving heat source problems
- Phase-change problems
- Approximate analytic methods
- Integral-transform technique
- Heat conduction in anisotropic solids
- Introduction to microscale heat conduction
In addition, new capstone examples are included in this edition and
extensive problems, cases, and examples have been thoroughly updated.
A solutions manual is also available.
Heat Conduction is appropriate reading for students in
mainstream courses of conduction heat transfer, students in mechanical
engineering, and engineers in research and design functions throughout
industry.
David W. Hahn is the Knox T. Millsaps Professor of Mechanical
and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville.
His areas of specialization include both thermal sciences and
biomedical engineering, including the development and application of
laser-based diagnostic techniques and general laser-material interactions.
The late M. Necati Ã-zişik retired as Professor
Emeritus of North Carolina State University's Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering Department, where he spent most of his academic career.
Professor Ã-zişik dedicated his life to education and
research in heat transfer. His outstanding contributions earned him
several awards, including the Outstanding Engineering Educator Award
from the American Society for Engineering Education in 1992.
