The advent of high-speed computers has encouraged a growing demand
for newly graduated engineers to possess the basic skills of
computational methods for heat and mass transfer and fluid
dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer, as well
as finite element codes, are standard tools in the computer-aided
design and analysis of processes and products involving coupled
transport and multi-physic phenomena. This textbook introduces the
fundamentals of two important computational techniques for solving
heat and mass transfer and fluid flow problems: finite difference
and finite element methods. The objective of the book is to help
the students thoroughly understand the basic concepts and
procedures of fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer and implement
computational methodology into a computer code and solve more
complex problems on their own. Theory and practice are combined in
a simple and straightforward manner. Classic problems in heat
transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flows are solved and illustrated
through step-by-step derivations and numerous figures.
End-of-chapter problems are provided at the end of every chapter
for extra practice and homework assignments. The book is divided
into three parts: Part One contains a review of basic equations of
heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid dynamics; concepts of
numerical approximations and errors; numerical solution techniques
for systems of linear algebraic equations; and numerical
integrations and quadrature formulas. (The last two topics are
included primarily for students who have had no prior course on
numerical analysis). Part Two introduces the finite
difference/control volume method. Part Three presents the finite
element method. As an introductory text, this book is appropriate
for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate level courses.
Students taking independent study can use the text as a
comprehensive reference guide. Others who will find it a useful
