Opis

This book presents an elementary treatment of the principles of conductive heat transfer. It contains enough information for a one-semester course, which can be taught at undergraduate or graduate level, depending on the course objectives. A knowledge of ordinary differential equations is useful for a good grasp of the subject.Conduction is approached from both an analytical and a numerical point of view, enabling the reader to gain a clear and precise understanding of the physical phenomenon, both from analytical solutions and from the essential tools of numerical analysis, which are often needed in practice. Exercises are included at the end of the book, aimed not only at reinforcing the theoretical concepts presented throughout the chapters, but also encouraging students to develop practical skills essential to real-world applications in thermal engineering.Finally, this book is no exception. While the fundamental physical mechanisms of heat conduction remain unchanged, analytical techniques and experimental data are constantly revised and improved.
