Essentials of Heat Transfer: Principles, Materials, and Applications

Written for students, this book describes the principles, materials, and applications needed to understand and analyze heat transfer problems encountered in actual practice. The book discusses heat transfer problems (in search of innovative and optimal solutions) and provides the engineering analysis to help students learn fundamental principles and analytical problem-solving methods. Topics include introduction and preliminaries, conduction, and heat transfer in thermal systems.

MATLAB is used to solve numerous examples in the book. In addition, a supplemental set of MATLAB code files is available for download.
