Advanced Heat Transfer: Theory, Applications, and MATLAB Simulation: From Fundamental Laws to Computational Engineering Solutions

This book presents a comprehensive exploration of heat transfer, covering conduction, convection, radiation, and combined modes, with a focus on practical engineering applications. It integrates fundamental theory, mathematical modeling, analytical solutions, and advanced numerical methods. The book includes step-by-step MATLAB simulations, enabling readers to analyze transient conduction, phase change, nanofluids, and multi-mode systems. Special emphasis is placed on energy, environmental, and industrial applications, including heat exchangers, solar collectors, drying processes, and thermal storage systems. Developed in collaboration with the LGM Laboratory of Mechanical Engineering, University of Biskra, this work bridges academic research and real-world engineering practice, providing students, researchers, and professionals with the tools and insights needed to design efficient, sustainable, and advanced thermal systems.
