Handbook of Applied Thermal Design / Edition 1

by Eric C. Guyer

Overview

Gives a foundation to the four principle facets of thermal design: heat transfer analysis, materials performance, heating and cooling technology, and instrumentation and control. The focus is on providing practical thermal design and development guidance across the spectrum of problem analysis, material applications, equipment specification, and sensor and control selection.

Editorial Reviews

Describes the available techniques, technologies, and materials that have application in the solution of thermal design problems, and provides a general perspective on the four principle facets of thermal design<-->heat transfer analysis, materials performance, heating and cooling technology, and instrumentation and controls. The 59 chapters are divided into 13 parts discussing such topics as thermal insulation, structural materials in thermal design, heat-transfer fluids, heat exchangers, refrigeration, cryogenic fluids and design practice, thermal sensors, and automatic temperature controls.
