Description
Since the publication of the second edition of Handbook of Heat Transfer, there have been many new and exciting developments in the field, covering both fundamentals and applications. As the role of technology has grown, so too has the importance of heat transfer engineering. For example, in the industrial sector heat transfer concerns are critical to the design of practically every process. The same is true of such vitally important areas as energy production, conversion, and the expanding field of environmental controls. In the generation of electrical power, whether by nuclear fission or combustion of fossil fuels, innumerable problems remain to be solved. Similarly, further miniaturization of advanced computers is limited by the capability of removing the heat generated in the microprocessors. Heat transfer problems at the macro scale, as exemplified by global warming, also offer tremendous challenges. As technology advances, engineers are constantly confronted by the need to maximize or minimize heat transfer rates while at the same time maintaining system integrity. The upper and lower boundariesmsystem size, pressure, and temperature--are constantly expanding, confronting the heat transfer engineer with new design challenges.
