THE LONG-AWAITED REVISION OF THE BESTSELLER ON HEAT CONDUCTION

Heat Conduction, Third Edition is an update of the classic text on heat conduction, replacing some of the coverage of numerical methods with content on micro- and nanoscale heat transfer. With an emphasis on the mathematics and underlying physics, this new edition has considerable depth and analytical rigor, providing a systematic framework for each solution scheme with attention to boundary conditions and energy conservation. Chapter coverage includes:

• Heat conduction fundamentals
• Orthogonal functions, boundary value problems, and the Fourier Series
• The separation of variables in the rectangular coordinate system
• The separation of variables in the cylindrical coordinate system
• The separation of variables in the spherical coordinate system
• Solution of the heat equation for semi-infinite and infinite domains<
