Heat Transfer Handbook

• Chapters contributed by thirty world-renown experts.
• Covers all aspects of heat transfer, including micro-scale and heat transfer in electronic equipment.
• An associated Web site offers computer formulations on thermophysical properties that provide the most up-to-date values.

Research mechanical engineers—most from US universities, but some from industry, government agencies, Canada, and Japan—provide practitioners and other researchers up-to-date information on heat transfer, with main results and correlations summarized at the ends of chapters for quick reference. The goal is to help integrate the latest scientific findings into design. Among the topics are thermophysical properties of fluids and materials, natural convection, heat exchangers, heat transfer in electronic equipment, porous media, and heat transfer in manufacturing and materials processing. The disk contains the NIST Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Fluids Database. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
