Michael F Modest Libri

Offers a comprehensive treatment of heat transfer. In addition to the standard topics usually covered, it also includes a number of modern state-of-the-art topics including: radiative properties of particles, generation of P-N approximation and collimated irradiation.

Every chapter of Radiative Heat Transfer offers uncluttered nomenclature, numerous worked examples, and a large number of problems - many based on "real world" situations, making it ideal for classroom use as well as for self-study. The book's 22 chapters cover the four major areas in the field: surface properties; surface transport; properties of participating media; and transfer through participating media. Within each chapter, all analytical methods are developed in substantial detail, and a number of examples show how the developed relations may be applied to practical problems.· Extensive solution manual for adopting instructors · Most complete text in the field of radiative heat transfer· Many worked examples and end-of-chapter problems· Large number of computer codes (in Fortran and C++), ranging from basic problem solving aids to sophisticated research tools· Covers experimental methods
