Advanced Computational Methods in Heat Transfer IX
WIT Press 2006; US$ 378.00Heat Transfer topics are commonly of a very complex nature. Often different mechanisms like heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and non-linear phenomena, such as temperature-dependent thermophysical properties, and phase changes occur simultaneously. New developments in numerical solution methods of partial differential equations and access... more...
Transport Phenomena in Fires
WIT Press 2008; US$ 326.00Controlled fires are beneficial for the generation of heat and power while uncontrolled fires, like fire incidents and wildfires, are detrimental and can cause enormous material damage and human suffering. Transport phenomena such as buoyant flow, momentum, convective heat and mass transfer as well as chemical reactions between combustible species... more...
Transport Phenomena in Capillary-Porous Structures and Heat Pipes
CRC Press 2009; US$ 199.95With emphasis on the processes involved, this text explores the experimental efforts in two-phase thermal control technology research and development. This work evaluates and compares different theoretical approaches, experimental results, and models, such as semi-empirical models for critical boiling heat fluxes. more...
Solving Direct and Inverse Heat Conduction Problems
Springer 2010; US$ 169.99Presents a solution for direct and inverse heat conduction problems. This work discusses the theoretical basis for the heat transfer process in the first part. It presents selected theoretical and numerical problems in the form of exercises with their subsequent solutions in the second part. more...
Thermodynamics
Oxford Book Co. 2008; US$ 50.00The comprehension of the laws which govern any material system is greatly facilitated by considering the energy and entropy of the system in various states of which it is capable. As in the case of simply mechanics systems, the performance of mechanical work, the function which expresses the capability of the system for this kind of action also plays... more...
Time and Thermodynamics
Infobase Publishing 2007; US$ 42.00Temperature is vital to the health and welfare of all living beings, and Earth's temperature varies considerably from place to place. Early humans could only live in warm areas such as the tropics. Although modern humans have the technology to keep their houses and offices warm even in cold environments, the growth and development of civilization... more...
Handbook for Heat Exchangers and Tube Banks design
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99When a heating fluid transfers heat to a heated fluid through a wall, if the fluids are in parallel flow or counter flow, it is possible to compute exactly both the transferred heat and the temperatures of the fluids via well-known equations. This holds true both for design and verification computation. However, the motion of the fluids is never in... more...
Statistical Thermodynamics and Microscale Thermophysics
Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 85.00This book provide an interwoven development of classical and statistical thermodynamic principles from a modern perspective. more...
Thermodynamics of Fluids Under Flow
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99This is the second edition of the book "Thermodynamics of Fluids under Flow," which was published in 2000 and has now been corrected, expanded and updated. This is a companion book to our other title Extended irreversible thermodynamics (D. Jou, J. Casas-Vazquez and G. Lebon, Springer, 4th edition 2010), and of the textbook Understanding... more...
Maximum Dissipation Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99Maximum Dissipation: Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and its Geometric Structure explores the thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes in materials. The book develops a general technique created in order to construct nonlinear evolution equations describing non-equilibrium processes, while also developing a geometric context for non-equilibrium thermodynamics.... more...
