Advances in Heat Transfer [PDF ebook] 

Advances in Heat Transfer is designed to fill the information gap between the regularly scheduled journals and university level textbooks, allowing for in-depth review articles on a broader scope than is allowable in either journals or texts. Reviews recent work on melt lubrication at the interface between two solid parts, one of which is at its melting point Employs variational principle with vanishing parameter in the study of linear and nonlinear transient heat conduction through bodies of finite length Reviews heat transfer in porous media and its rapidly growing body of literature Emphasizes recent developments in handling complex geometry, treating wide flow speed variations, yielding accurate solutions, and producing results efficiently as illustrated throughout with many examples Discusses unsteady convective situations which are generated in response to the time-dependent boundary conditions on the surface walls of a container, and its practical industrial applications
