Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer: A Software-Based Approach Using Maple and MATLAB

A highly practical intro to solving real-world convective heat transfer problems with MATLAB^(R) and MAPLE

In Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer, accomplished professor and mechanical engineer Nevzat Onur delivers an insightful exploration of the physical mechanisms of convective heat transfer and an accessible treatment of how to build mathematical models of these physical processes.

Providing a new perspective on convective heat transfer, the book is comprised of twelve chapters, all of which contain numerous practical examples. The book emphasizes foundational concepts and is integrated with explanations of computational programs like MATLAB^(R) and MAPLE to offer students a practical outlet for the concepts discussed within. The focus throughout is on practical, physical analysis rather than mathematical detail, which helps students learn to use the provided computational tools quickly and accurately.

In addition to a solutions manual for instructors and the aforementioned MAPLE and MATLAB^(R) files, Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer includes:

• A thorough introduction to the foundations of convective heat transfer, including coordinate systems, and continuum and thermodynamic equilibrium concepts
• Practical explorations of the fundamental equations of laminar convective heat transfer, including integral formulation and differential formulation
• Comprehensive discussions of the equations of incompressible external laminar boundary layers, including laminar flow forced convection and the thermal boundary layer concept
• In-depth examinations of dimensional analysis, including the dimensions of physical quantities, dimensional homogeneity, and dimensionless numbers

Ideal for first-year graduates in mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering, Introduction to Convective Heat Transfer is also an indispensable resource for practicing engineers in academia and industry in the mechanical, aerospace, and chemical engineering fields.

導論：對流熱傳

一本高度實用的介紹，使用MATLAB^(R)和MAPLE解決現實世界的對流熱傳問題

在《導論：對流熱傳》中，傑出的教授和機械工程師Nevzat Onur提供了對對流熱傳物理機制的深入探索，以及如何建立這些物理過程的數學模型的易於理解的處理方法。

本書共有十二章，每章都包含許多實際例子，提供了對對流熱傳的新視角。本書強調基礎概念，並結合了對MATLAB^(R)和MAPLE等計算程序的解釋，為學生提供了實際應用這些概念的途徑。全書的重點是實際的物理分析，而不是數學細節，這有助於學生快速而準確地學習使用提供的計算工具。

除了供教師使用的解答手冊和上述的MAPLE和MATLAB^(R)文件外，《導論：對流熱傳》還包括：

• 對對流熱傳基礎的全面介紹，包括坐標系統、連續體和熱力學平衡概念
