Introduction to Radiative Heat Transfer offers students and instructors a more concise and affordable alternative to the comprehensive textbook Radiative Heat Transfer. Retaining essential content for a one-semester senior undergraduate or graduate course on thermal radiation, this book preserves the hallmark features of its predecessor. It includes excellent writing, historical highlights, and clear, consistent notations throughout, making it an ideal resource for learning the fundamentals and applications of radiative heat transfer. Other important points about the book include its numerous worked examples, a large number of problems based on real-world scenarios, and an up-to-date bibliography.
The book integrates radiative heat transfer with other heat transfer modes in a coherent manner, emphasizing the core principles. It serves as a valuable tool for understanding thermal radiation and its interactions in practical situations.
Key Features
- Contains curated and respected content from the author's more comprehensive text, Radiative Heat Transfer but developed specifically for one-semester graduate courses in thermal radiation
- Shows the development of all analytical methods in substantial detail and contains a number of examples
- Details many computer codes, ranging from basic problem-solving aids to sophisticated research tools, with actual codes provided on a companion website
