Synopsis

The most comprehensive and detailed treatment of thermal radiation heat transfer available for graduate students, as well as senior undergraduate students, practicing engineers and physicists is enhanced by an excellent writing style with nice historical highlights and a clear and consistent notation throughout. Modest presents radiative heat transfer and its interactions with other modes of heat transfer in a coherent and integrated manner emphasizing the fundamentals. Numerous worked examples, a large number of problems, many based on real world situations, and an up-to-date bibliography make the book especially suitable for independent study.

• 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

Review:

The basic physics of radiative heat - how surfaces emit, reflect, and absorb waves, and how that heat is distributed.

Synopsis:

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 22 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. It contains extensive solution manual for adopting instructors. It includes the most complete text in the field of radiative heat transfer. It also includes a large number of computer codes (in Fortran and C++), ranging from basic problem solving aids to sophisticated research tools. It covers experimental methods.
