This book describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of important physical features and approximating their behavior. Students will have greater facility in breaking down complex engineering systems into simplified thermal models that allow essential features of their performance to be assessed and modified.
Engineers face many challenges in systems design and research. Modeling and Approximation in Heat Transfer describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of the most important physical features and approximating their behavior. Systematic discussion of how modeling and associated synthesis can be carried out is included - in engineering practice, these steps very often precede mathematical analysis or the need for precise results.
