HEAT TRANSFER Provides authoritative coverage of the fundamentals
of heat transfer, written by one of the most cited authors in all
of Engineering Heat Transfer presents the fundamentals of the
generation, use, conversion, and exchange of heat between physical
systems. A pioneer in establishing heat transfer as a pillar of the
modern thermal sciences, Professor Adrian Bejan presents the
fundamental concepts and problem-solving methods of the discipline,
predicts the evolution of heat transfer configurations, the
principles of thermodynamics, and more. Building upon his classic
1993 book Heat Transfer, the author maintains his straightforward
scientific approach to teaching essential developments such as
Fourier conduction, fins, boundary layer theory, duct flow, scale
analysis, and the structure of turbulence. In this new volume,
Bejan explores topics and research developments that have emerged
during the past decade, including the designing of convective flow
and heat and mass transfer, the crucial relationship between
configuration and performance, and new populations of
configurations such as tapered ducts, plates with multi-scale
features, and dendritic fins. Heat Transfer: Evolution, Design and
Performance Covers thermodynamics principles and establishes
performance and evolution as fundamental concepts in thermal
sciences Demonstrates how principles of physics predict a future
with economies of scale, multi-scale design, vascularization, and
hierarchical distribution of many small features Explores new work
on conduction architecture, convection with nanofluids, boiling and
condensation on designed surfaces, and resonance of natural
circulation in enclosures Includes numerous examples, problems with
solutions, and access to a companion website Heat Transfer:
Evolution, Design and Performance is essential reading for
undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and chemical
engineering, and for all engineers, physicists, biologists, and
earth scientists.
