Handbook Of Heat Transfer [Hardcover]

Heat transfer is involved in numerous industrial technologies. This interdisciplinary book deals with combined action of heat transfer and concomitant processes. It discusses heat effects due to laser, ion and plasma-solid interaction. Also, engineering applications of heat conduction equations to the curing reaction kinetics in manufacturing process, their combination with mass transport or ohmic and dielectric losses, heat conduction in metallic porous media and power cables have been considered. Analysis of the safety of mine hoist under influence of heat produced by mechanical friction, heat transfer in boilers and internal combustion engine chambers, management for ultrahigh strength steel manufacturing have been extensively discussed as well. There is also a special focus on air cooling of electronic devices.
