Opis

Heat Transfer in Aerospace Applications is the first book to provide an overall description of various heat transfer issues of relevance for aerospace applications. The book contains chapters relating to convection cooling, heat pipes, ablation, heat transfer at high velocity, low pressure and microgravity, aircraft heat exchangers, fuel cells, and cryogenic cooling systems. Chapters specific to low density heat transfer (4) and microgravity heat transfer (9) are newer subjects which have not been previously covered. The book takes a basic engineering approach by including correlations and examples that an engineer needs during the initial phases of vehicle design or to quickly analyze and solve a specific problem. Designed for mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers in research institutes, companies, and consulting firms, this book is an invaluable resource for the latest on aerospace heat transfer engineering and research.

• Provides an overall description of heat transfer issues of relevance for aerospace applications
• Discusses why thermal problems arise and introduces the various heat transfer modes
• Helps solve the problem of selecting and calculating the cooling system, the heat exchanger, and heat protection
• Features a collection of problems in which the methods presented in the book can be used to solve these problems

Recenzje

"I was quite excited about the book as there hasn't been any book on heat transfer especially dedicated for the aerospace applications. The heat transfer concept has been explored and explained in many ways for various engineering applications but this First edition book describes the concept of heat transfer in the context of aerospace applications.

Overall, this is a great book to understand the nuances of heat transfer in aerospace applications." --The Aeronautical Journal

Every chapter ends with an extensive list of references used in that chapter which guides the reader to explore further for research if needed. It would be beneficial if some numerical problems taken from real-life aerospace challenges are added at the end of each chapter. This would not only help students understand the concept of heat transfer in aerospace applications but to apply the knowledge learned from this book. This change would make this book a great addition to a university library. Overall, this is a great book to understand the nuances of heat transfer in aerospace applications." -The Aeronautical Journal

Bengt Sundén received M. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering 1973, Ph. D. and Docent in Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics 1979 and 1980, respectively, from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He is a Professor of Heat Transfer at Lund University, Sweden since 1992 and served as Head of Energy Sciences during 1995-2016. The research activities include compact heat exchangers, enhanced heat transfer, gas turbine heat transfer, combustion-related heat transfer and others. He established and was editor-in-chief of International Journal of Heat Exchangers 1999-2008, associate editor of ASME J. Heat Transfer 2005-2008, editor-in-chief of Developments in Heat Transfer (WIT Press, UK). He published >700 papers in >300 journals, books, and proceedings, edited 30 books and authored three textbooks. He supervised more than 180 M Sc theses, 46 Licentiate of Engineering theses, 44 PhD-theses. Juan Fu is a relatively recent PhD graduate working in the field of aerospace heat transfer.
