Description
Springer Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems by Bernhard Weigand
This book describes useful analytical methods by applying them to real-world problems rather than solving the usual over-simplified classroom problems. The book demonstrates the applicability of analytical methods even for complex problems and guides the reader to a more intuitive understanding of approaches and solutions._x000D__x000D_Although the solution of Partial Differential Equations by numerical methods is the standard practice in industries, analytical methods are still important for the critical assessment of results derived from advanced computer simulations and the improvement of the underlying numerical techniques. Literature devoted to analytical methods, however, often focuses on theoretical and mathematical aspects and is therefore useless to most engineers. Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems addresses engineers and engineering students._x000D__x000D_The second edition has been updated, the chapters on non-linear problems and on axial heat conduction problems were extended. And worked out examples were included._x000D_ Table of contents :- _x000D_
