This highly informative and carefully presented textbook introduces
the general principles involved in system design and optimization
as applicable to thermal systems, followed by the methods to
accomplish them. It introduces contemporary techniques like Genetic
Algorithms, Simulated Annealing, and Bayesian Inference in the
context of optimization of thermal systems. There is a separate
chapter devoted to inverse problems in thermal systems. It also
contains sections on Integer Programming and Multi-Objective
optimization. The linear programming chapter is fortified by a
detailed presentation of the Simplex method. A major highlight of
the textbook is the inclusion of workable MATLAB codes for examples
of key algorithms discussed in the book. Examples in each chapter
clarify the concepts and methods presented and end-of-chapter
problems supplement the material presented and enhance the learning
process.
Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer focuses only on the essential
topics required to gain an understanding of radiation heat transfer
to enable the reader to master more challenging problems. The
strength of the book lies in its elaborate presentation of the
powerful radiosity-irradiation method and shows how this technique
can be used to solve a variety of problems of radiation in
enclosures made of one to any number of surfaces in both
transparent and participating media. The book also introduces
atmospheric radiation in which engineers can contribute to the
technology of remote sensing and atmospheric sciences in general,
by a better understanding of radiation. The author has included
pedagogical features such as end-of-chapter exercises and worked
examples with varying degrees of difficulty to augment learning and
self-testing. The book has been written in an easy- to- follow
conversational style to enhance reader engagement and learning
outcomes. This book will be a useful guide for upper undergraduate
and graduate students in the areas of mechanical engineering,
aerospace engineering, atmospheric sciences, and energy sciences.
Phase-change Material based heat sinks and associated optimization
remains a topic of great interest, as evident from the increasing
number of citations and new applications and miniaturization. Often
the multi objective perspective of such heat sinks is ignored. This
book introduces the readers to the PCM based heat sinks and Multi
objective optimization. The authors have also included interesting
in house experimental results on the "Rotating heat sinks" which is
a first of a kind work. Useful to budding thermal researchers and
practicing engineers in the field, this book is also a great start
for students to understand the cooling applications in electronics
and an asset to every library in a technical university. Since this
book not only gives a critical review of the state of the art but
also presents the authors' own results. The book will encourage,
motivate and let the reader consider pursuing a research career in
electronic cooling technologies.

Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer presents the essential,
fundamental information required to gain an understanding of
radiation heat transfer and equips the reader with enough knowledge
to be able to tackle more challenging problems. All concepts are
reinforced by carefully chosen and fully worked examples, and
exercise problems are provided at the end of every chapter.
