The premier professional reference to convection heat transfer--updated and expanded for the '90s . . . Hailed instantly as a classic, the first edition of Convection Heat Transfer brought an entirely new and invigorating approach to the science, one that balanced traditionally rival corners of convection teaching and research, and provided insights into the basic problem-solving mechanisms essential to meeting complex engineering challenges. Thoroughly updated and expanded, the Second Edition is an authoritative look at the field's new and widening focus on environmental concerns, as well as the field's latest research and technical innovations: A discussion of natural convection on equal footing with forced convection, with application to energy conservation in buildings and geophysical dynamics Convection through porous media saturated with fluid, with application to geothermal and thermal insulation Turbulent transport in free-stream flow, with application to the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and buildings Convection with change of phase (condensation, boiling, and melting) The cooling of electronic packages by forced and natural convection The latest in problem-solving techniques, publications, and ideas on the frontiers of the field Designed as an optimal study tool, the newest edition features end-of-chapter questions and design problems that are natural extensions of the topics discussed. A revised format, including numbered sections and equations and an introductory symbols list make the book especially useful for first-time users. An inspiring and unconventional engineering text on the frontiers of science, the first edition of Convection Heat Transfer quickly established itself as a premier professional reference, one that offered an entirely new and invigorating approach to research and teaching. Updated and revised to reflect the field's latest research and technical innovations, the Second Edition is an authoritative practical reference and basic graduate-level text to convection heat transfer. Like its predecessor, the new edition balances traditionally rival corners of convection teaching and research, such as forced and natural convection, laminar and turbulent flows, fluids and fluid-saturated porous media, as well as theory and empiricism. Yet the new edition also focuses on the growing concerns in energy and ecology, with an emphasis on man's enhanced role in living equitably with nature. The book's unique topical breadth and arrangement, the first in a text on heat convection, reflect today's environmental realities: A discussion of natural convection on equal footing with forced convection, with application to energy conservation in buildings and geophysical dynamics Convection through porous media saturated with fluid, with application to geothermal and thermal insulation Turbulent transport in free-stream flow, with application to the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and buildings The Second Edition also includes such important additions as convection with change of phase (condensation, boiling, and melting), cooling of electronic packages by forced and natural convection, lubrication by contact melting, and several examples of conjugate heat transfer. The new edition also includes an exposition of the latest analytical techniques and new heat transfer correlations; an expanded discussion of laminar and, especially, turbulent forced convection, as well as the latest applications of the buckling theory of turbulent flow. Designed as an optimal study tool, the newest edition features end-of-chapter questions that are natural extensions of the research topics debated in the text and which serve to reinforce basic conceptual material. Throughout, the text stresses physical insight and problem solving, and invites the
