Analytical Heat Transfer

This book explores how to analyze and solve classic heat transfer problems in conduction, convection, and radiation#xE2;#xAC;#x1D;all in one book. Rather than simply discussing theories, equations, and correlations for engineering problem calculations, this text focuses on effective practical techniques to model and solve engineering heat transfer problems analytically. The author covers many well-known analytical methods and solutions, including Bessel functions, separation of variables, similarity and integral methods, and matrix inversion method for entry-level engineering graduate students. This book is special because it combines detailed step-by-step mathematical formula derivations, analytical solution procedures, and a host of extremely helpful demonstration examples.
