Synopsis

The third edition of Radiative Heat Transfer describes the basic physics of radiation heat transfer. The book provides models, methodologies, and calculations essential in solving research problems in a variety of industries, including solar and nuclear energy, nanotechnology, biomedical, and environmental.

Every chapter of Radiative Heat Transfer offers uncluttered nomenclature, numerous worked examples, and a large number of problems―many based on real world situations―making it ideal for classroom use as well as for self-study. The book's 24 chapters cover the four major areas in the field: surface properties; surface transport; properties of participating media; and transfer through participating media. Within each chapter, all analytical methods are developed in substantial detail, and a number of examples show how the developed relations may be applied to practical problems.

• Extensive solution manual for adopting instructors
• Most complete text in the field of radiative heat transfer
• Many worked examples and end-of-chapter problems
• Large number of computer codes (in Fortran and C++), ranging from basic problem solving aids to sophisticated research tools
• Covers experimental methods

About this title

From the Back Cover

Radiative Heat Transfer, Third Edition is a comprehensive reference for scientists, engineers, and graduate students working in the field of heat transfer and thermal radiation. This new edition has been updated to include significant advances and the emergence of new research topics over the last decade. Acknowledged in the field as the industry standard resource for radiative heat transfer, the third edition provides basic physics and computational tools, such as models, methodologies, and calculations that are of pivotal importance in energy, combustion, aeronautics, nanotechnology, lighting, and environmental applications.

Written in modular fashion, the new edition of Radiative Heat Transfer is now divided into 24 chapters, offering complete coverage comprising the four major areas in the field: surface properties; surface transport; properties of participating media; and transfer through participating media. Each chapter shows the development of all analytical methods in substantial detail, aided by numerous examples and chapter-end problems to show how the developed relations may be applied in practice. This makes the new edition an ideal resource for classroom use, for self-study, as well as for reference.

The updated and expanded third edition features:

· An all-new chapter on nanoscale radiative heat transfer · Significant new developments in conventional radiative transfer equation (RTE) solution methods · Greatly expanded coverage of statistical RTE (Monte Carlo) solutions · Significant new information on inverse radiation · More computational methods and up-to-date computer codes, now with many in Matlab® versions · Significant new developments in spectral radiation properties and models, including nonequilibrium · Discussion of modern applications and materials, including interaction with conduction, convection, combustion and turbulence · Available solutions manual to adopting instructors and student materials
