This new edition updated the material by expanding coverage of certain topics, adding new examples and problems, removing outdated material, and adding a computer disk, which will be included with each book. Professor Jaluria and Torrance have structured a text addressing both finite difference and finite element methods, comparing a number of applicable methods.

Focuses on the interactions between computers and heat transfer science and engineering. The book provides broad coverage of heat transfer phenomena including forced convection, phase changes, radiative heat transfer, and heat transfer in combustion.

The philosophy of the text is based on the development of an inductive approach to the formulation and solution of applied problems. Explores the principle that heat transfer rests on, but goes beyond, thermodynamics. Ideal as an introduction to engineering heat transfer.

Featuring contributions from the Seventh International Conference on Advanced Computational Methods In Heat Transfer (HEAT TRANSFER), this book presents new approaches to the numerical solutions of heat transfer problems. Methods discussed include all well established and efficient numerical techniques such as finite differences, finite volume, finite elements and boundary elements, whilst special attention is paid to complex thermal problems from engineering practice. Advanced Computational Methods In Heat Transfer VII will be of interest to scientists and engineers who are actively involved in developing innovative approaches in the heat transfer field, as well in solving a variety of industrial problems.
