"Heat Transfer: Lessons with Examples Solved by Matlab instructs
students in heat transfer, and cultivates independent and logical
thinking ability. The book focuses on fundamental concepts in heat
transfer and can be used in courses in Heat Transfer, Heat and Mass
Transfer, and Transport Processes. It uses numerical examples and
equation solving to clarify complex, abstract concepts such as
Kirchhoff's Law in Radiation. Several features characterize this
textbook: It includes real-world examples encountered in daily
life; Examples are mostly solved in simple Matlab codes, readily
for students to run numerical experiments by cutting and pasting
Matlab codes into their PCs; In parallel to Matlab codes, some
examples are solved at only a few nodes, allowing students to
understand the physics qualitatively without running Matlab codes;
It places emphasis on ""why"" for engineers, not just ""how"" for
technicians. Adopting instructors will receive supplemental
exercise problems, as well as access to a companion website where
instructors and students can participate in discussion forums
amongst themselves and with the author. Heat Transfer is an ideal
text for students of mechanical, chemical, and aerospace
engineering. It can also be used in programs for civil and
electrical engineering, and physics. Rather than simply training
students to be technicians, Heat Transfer uses clear examples,
structured exercises and application activities that train students
to be engineers. The book encourages independent and logical
thinking, and gives students the skills needed to master complex,
technical subject matter. "
" Tien-Mo Shih received his Ph.D. from the University of
California, Berkeley, and did his post-doctoral work at Harvard
University. From 1978 until his retirement in 2011 he was an
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of
Maryland, College Park, where he taught courses in thermo-sciences
and numerical methods. He remains active in research in these same
areas. His book, Numerical Heat Transfer, was translated into
Russian and Chinese, and subsequently published by both the Russian
Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has
published numerous research papers, and has been invited regularly
to write survey papers for Numerical Heat Transfer Journal since
1980s."
