Abstract
This book presents the basic principles and applications of radiative heat transfer used in energy, space, and geo-environmental engineering, and can serve as a reference book for engineers and scientists in researchand development. A PC disk containing software for numerical analyses by the Monte Carlo method is included to provide hands-on practice in analyzing actual radiative heat transfer problems.
Advances in Heat Transfer is designed to fill the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than journals or texts usually allow.
- Offers solution methods for integro-differential formulation to help avoid difficulties
- Includes a computer disk for numerical analyses by PC
- Discusses energy absorption by gas and scattering effects by particles
- Treats non-gray radiative gases
- Provides example problems for direct applications in energy, space, and geo-environmental engineering
"This book is wholeheartedly recommended to the researcher, and to the student who wishes to commence work in a particular field." --JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL WORKING TECHNOLOGY
"The articles, which serve as a broad review forexperts in the field, will also be of great interest to non-specialists with only a general knowledge of the field who need to know the results of the latest research." --CURRENT SCIENCE
