About this book

This textbook presents the classical topics of conduction heat transfer and extends the coverage to include chapters on perturbation methods, heat transfer in living tissue, numerical solutions using MATLAB®, and microscale conduction. This makes the book unique among the many published textbooks on conduction heat transfer. Other noteworthy features of the book are: 
  • The material is organized to provide students with the tools to model, analyze, and solve a wide range of engineering applications involving conduction heat transfer.
  • Mathematical techniques and numerical solvers are explained in a clear and simplified fashion to be used as instruments in obtaining solutions.
  • The simplicity of one-dimensional conduction is used to drill students in the role of boundary conditions and to explore a variety of physical conditions that are of practical interest.
  • Examples are carefully selected to illustrate the application of principles andconstruction of solutions.
  • Students are trained to follow a systematic problem-solving methodology with emphasis on thought process, logic, reasoning, and verification. Solutions to all examples and end-of-chapter problems follow an orderly problem-solving approach.
  • An extensive solution manual for verifiable course instructors can be provided on request. Please send your request to heattextbook@gmail.com
