Book SynopsisHEAT TRANSFER BASICS Concise introduction to heat transfer, with a focus on worked example problems to aid in reader comprehension and student learning Heat Transfer Basics covers the essential topics of heat transfer in a focused manner, starting with an introduction to heat transfer that explains its relationship to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and continuing on to key topics such as free convection, boiling and condensation, radiation, heat exchangers, and more, for an accessible and reader-friendly yet comprehensive treatment of the subject. Each chapter features multiple worked out example problems, including derivations of key governing equations and comparisons of worked solutions with computer modeled results, which helps students become familiar with the types of problems they will encounter in the field. Throughout the book, figures and diagrams liberally illustrate the concepts discussed, and practice problems allow students to test their understanding of the content. The text is accompanied by an online instructor's manual. Heat Transfer Basics includes information on: One-dimensional, steady-state conduction, covering the plane wall, the composite wall, solid and hollow cylinders and sphere, conduction with and without internal energy generation, and conduction with constant and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity Heat transfer from extended surfaces, fins of uniform and variable cross-sectional area, fin performance, and overall fin efficiencyTransient conduction, covering general lumped capacitance solution method, one- and multi-dimensional transient conduction, and the finite-difference method for solving transient problemsFree and forced convection, covering hydrodynamic and thermal considerations, the energy balance, and thermal analysis and convection correlations More advanced than introductory textbooks yet not as overwhelming as textbooks targeted at specialists, Heat Transfer Basics is ideal for students in introductory and advanced heat transfer courses who do not intend to specialize in heat transfer, and is a helpful reference for advanced students and practicing engineers.Table of ContentsPreface xiii Acknowledgements xv List of Symbols xvii About the Companion

Book SynopsisIn the context of global warming and the energy transition, two essential questions arise: how to cool environments without major environmental impact and how to produce heat efficiently without combustion. These questions reveal a reversal of the energy paradigm that has prevailed since the Industrial Revolution, when the challenge was to produce work from heat. Reverse cycle thermal machines (refrigeration systems, heat pumps and thermofridges), operating in reverse of the thermomechanical conversion motor cycle, have a major role to play in answering these questions, which are at the heart of the energy challenges that humanity will have to face in the coming decades. This book first presents a state of the art on these systems, whose operating principle is sometimes old, but whose performance analysis and optimization have sometimes been neglected. Emerging technologies, which will certainly find their place in the future energy panorama, are also discussed.Table of ContentsForeword ixMichel FEIDT Preface xiJocelyn BONJOUR Chapter 1 Heating and Cooling by Reverse Cycle Engines: State of the Art 1Philippe HABERSCHILL and Rémi REVELLIN 1.1 Vapor compression refrigerators and heat pumps 2 1.1.1.

Book SynopsisThis new text integrates fundamental theory with modern computational tools such as EES, MATLAB, and FEHT to equip students with the essential tools for designing and optimizing real-world systems and the skills needed to become effective practicing engineers. Real engineering problems are illustrated and solved in a clear step-by-step manner. Starting from first principles, derivations are tailored to be accessible to undergraduates by separating the formulation and analysis from the solution and exploration steps to encourage a deep and practical understanding. Numerous exercises are provided for homework and self-study and include standard hand calculations as well as more advanced project-focused problems for the practice and application of computational tools. Appendices include reference tables for thermophysical properties and answers to selected homework problems from the book. Complete with an online package of guidance documents on EES, MATLAB, and FEHT software, sample code,Trade Review'This excellent text on heat transfer continues the tradition of the strong analytical treatment of conduction and convection heat transfer, buttressed by strong EES, FEHT, and MATLAB examples … The emphasis on examples is substantial, and the use of the software is tastefully introduced in ways that emphasize the solution instead of the software … This edition is well organized, succinctly written, and well supported by software aids. The book is also a valuable reference for those in a wide variety of disciplines desiring to self-learn heat transfer. All the essential elements of a heat transfer course are well represented in this volume.' Ernest W. Tollner, University of Georgia'No other text spells out real-world problems with computer-based solutions as clearly as this one. This text will allow readers to translate quickly heat transfer lessons learned into interesting applied solutions.' Thomas Merrill, Rowan University, New Jersey'I've practiced heat transfer for 30 years as an engineer in industry, a scientist at a national lab, and an academic.

Book SynopsisPhase-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.Trade ReviewAn interesting book for researchers involved with designing heat sinks for electronics, especially high-power electronics (e.g. Si, SiC or GaN) power semiconductors since many of the applications that use these devices are limited by the device temperature during transient overcurrent. PCM may be able to extend the current range of many of these devices and lead to even higher current ratings, especially for wideband gap materials since they have a higher operating temperature rating than Si-based devices.- IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, January / February — Vol. 37, No. 1Table of ContentsPreface. List of Figures. List of Tables. Symbols. Notations. Introduction. Review of literature. Characterization of PCM And TCEs. Experimental Setup and Instrumentation.
