A completely updated edition of the acclaimed single-volume reference for heat transfer and the thermal sciences

This Second Edition of Handbook of Numerical Heat Transfer covers the basic equations for numerical method calculations regarding heat transfer problems and applies these to problems encountered in aerospace, nuclear power, chemical processes, electronic packaging, and other related areas of mechanical engineering. As with the first edition, this complete revision presents comprehensive but accessible coverage of the necessary formulations, numerical schemes, and...

In putting together the contents of this second volume of Advances in Numerical Heat Transfer, the editors faced the daunting task of striking a balance between generic and specific fundamentals and applications in this complex topic. The final contents of this volume reflect the diversity of this balance. A broad overview is given of the use of high-performance computers in fluid flow and heat transfer problems. Thanks to these newer faster processors, problems are now being solved that only a few years ago were considered intractable. This should be a useful book which explains and analyzes...
