Kevin Cole, James Beck, A. Haji-Sheikh, Bahman Litkouhi
R5,228 Discovery Miles 52 280 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since its publication more than 15 years ago, Heat Conduction Using Green s Functions has become the consummate heat conduction treatise from the perspective of Green s functions and the newly revised Second Edition is poised to take its place. Based on the authors own research and classroom experience with the material, this book organizes the solution of heat conduction and diffusion problems through the use of Green s functions, making these valuable principles more accessible. As in the first edition, this book applies extensive tables of Green s functions and related integrals, and all chapters have been updated and revised for the second edition, many extensively.

Details how to access the accompanying Green s Function Library site, a useful web-searchable collection of GFs based on the appendices in this book

The book reflects the authors conviction that although Green s functions were discovered in the nineteenth century, they remain directly relevant to 21st-century engineers and scientists. It chronicles the authors continued search for new GFs and novel ways to apply them to heat conduction.

New features of this latest edition

  • Expands the introduction to Green s functions, both steady and unsteady
  • Adds a section on the Dirac Delta Function
  • Includes a discussion of the eigenfunction expansion method, as well as sections on the convergence speed of series solutions, and the importance of alternate GF
  • Adds a section on intrinsic verification, an important new tool for obtaining correct numerical values from analytical solutions

A main goal of the first edition was to make GFs more accessible. To facilitate this objective, one of the authors has created a companion Internet site called the Green s Function Library, a web-searchable collection of GFs. Based on the appendices in this book, this library is organized by differential equation, geometry, and boundary condition. Each GF is also identified and cataloged according to a GF numbering system. The library also contains explanatory material, references, and links to related sites, all of which supplement the value of Heat Conduction Using Green s Functions, Second Edition as a powerful tool for understanding."

R1,930 Discovery Miles 19 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The authors expound on non-traditional phenomena for transfer theory, which are nevertheless of considerable interest in wave measurements, and bring the advances of transfer theory as close as possible to the practical needs of those working in all areas of wave physics. The book opens with a historical overview of the topic, then moves on to examine the phenomenological theory of radiative transport, blending traditional theory with original ideas. The transport equation is derived from first principles, and the ensuing discussion of the diffraction content of the transport equation and non-classical radiometry is illustrated by practical examples from various fields of physics. Popular techniques of solving the transport equation are discussed, paying particular attention to wave physics and computing the coherence function. The book also examines various problems which are no longer covered by the traditional radiative transfer theory, such as enhanced backscattering and weak localization phenomena, nonlinear transport problems and kinetic equations for waves. This monograph bridges the gap between the simple power balance description in radiative transfer theory and modern coherence theory. It will be of interest to researchers and professionals working across a wide range of fields from optics, acoustics and radar theory to astrophysics, radioastronomy and remote sensing, as well as to students in these areas.

Origin of Temporal (t > 0) Universe - Connecting with Relativity, Entropy, Communication, and Quantum Mechanics (Hardcover):... Origin of Temporal (t > 0) Universe - Connecting with Relativity, Entropy, Communication, and Quantum Mechanics (Hardcover)
Thomas N. Corns
R4,583 Discovery Miles 45 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The essence of temporal universe creation is that any analytical solution has to comply with the boundary condition of our universe; dimensionality and causality constraints. The essence of this book is to show that everything has a price within our temporal (t > 0) universe; energy and time. In mathematics, every postulation needs proof; there exists a solution before searching for the solution. Yet science does not have seem to have a criterion as mathematics does; to prove first that a postulated science exists within our temporal universe. Without such a criterion, fictitious science emerges, as already have been happening in every day's event. In this book, the author has shown there exists a criterion for a postulated science whether or not it is existed within our universe. The author started this book from Einstein's relativity to the creation of our temporal universe. He has shown that every subspace within our universe is created by energy and time, in which subspace and time are coexisted. The important aspect is that every science has to satisfy the boundary condition of our universe; causality and dimensionality. Following up with temporal universe, the author has shown a profound relationship with the second law of thermodynamics. He examines the relationship between entropy with science as well as communication with quantum limited subspace throughout the book. The author discusses the paradox of Schroedinger's Cat (which has been debated by Einstein, Bohr, Schroedinger and many others since 1935) that triggered his discovering that Schroedinger's quantum mechanics is a timeless machine, in which he has disproved the fundamental principle of superposition within our universe. Since quantum mechanics is a virtual mathematics, he has shown that a temporal quantum machine can, in principle, be built on the top of a temporal platform. This book is intended for cosmologists, particle physicists, astrophysicists, quantum physicists, computer scientists, engineers, professors and students as a reference and research-oriented book.

The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer Analysis (Paperback): R. W. Lewis The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer Analysis (Paperback)
R. W. Lewis
R2,414 Discovery Miles 24 140 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Heat transfer analysis is a problem of major significance in a vast range of industrial applications. These extend over the fields of mechanical engineering, aeronautical engineering, chemical engineering and numerous applications in civil and electrical engineering. If one considers the heat conduction equation alone the number of practical problems amenable to solution is extensive. Expansion of the work to include features such as phase change, coupled heat and mass transfer, and thermal stress analysis provides the engineer with the capability to address a further series of key engineering problems. The complexity of practical problems is such that closed form solutions are not generally possible. The use of numerical techniques to solve such problems is therefore considered essential, and this book presents the use of the powerful finite element method in heat transfer analysis. Starting with the fundamental general heat conduction equation, the book moves on to consider the solution of linear steady state heat conduction problems, transient analyses and non--linear examples. Problems of melting and solidification are then considered at length followed by a chapter on convection. The application of heat and mass transfer to drying problems and the calculation of both thermal and shrinkage stresses conclude the book. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the basic concepts introduced. This book is the outcome of the teaching and research experience of the authors over a period of more than 20 years.
