What if there were no constraints on the use of photographs and graphics; if books could show objects dynamically to illustrate their multi-dimensional characteristics; and if new and revised material could be added at frequent intervals in response to direct feedback from users? Welcome to ThermoNet! Combining a concise text and Web component, ThermoNet not only covers standard thermodynamics topics but also enhances learning through interactive animations, tutorials, exercises, and problems. An integrated learning package that brings thermodynamics to life: • Developed by engineering educators with partial support from the National Science Foundation. • Incorporates a Web-based resource where words are used to support visual representations. • Utilizes graphics-rich environments to help readers gain a strong conceptual understanding of the material. • Includes an interactive presentation of governing equations that clearly shows the physics underlying each term. • Focuses the reader's attention on the fundamental principles and motivates them to master the concepts.

Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer, 6th Edition
( Explore the Radiative Exchange between Surfaces Furthe...)
Explore the Radiative Exchange between Surfaces Further expanding on the changes made to the fifth edition, Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer, 6th Edition continues to highlight the relevance of thermal radiative transfer and focus on concepts that develop the radiative transfer equation (RTE). The book explains the fundamentals of radiative transfer, introduces the energy and radiative transfer equations, covers a variety of approaches used to gauge radiative heat exchange between different surfaces and structures, and provides solution techniques for solving the RTE. What’s New in the Sixth Edition This revised version updates information on properties of surfaces and of absorbing/emitting/scattering materials, radiative transfer among surfaces, and radiative transfer in participating media. It also enhances the chapter on near-field effects, addresses new applications that include enhanced solar cell performance and self-regulating surfaces for thermal control, and updates references. Comprised of 17 chapters, this text: • Discusses the fundamental RTE and its simplified forms for different medium properties • Presents an intuitive relationship between the RTE formulations and the configuration factor analyses • Explores the historical development and the radiative behavior of a blackbody • Defines the radiative properties of solid opaque surfaces • Provides a detailed analysis and solution procedure for radiation exchange analysis • Contains methods for determining the radiative flux divergence (the radiative source term in the energy equation) Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer, 6th Edition explores methods for solving the RTE to determine the local spectral intensity, radiative flux, and flux gradient. This book enables you to assess and calculate the exchange of energy between objects that determine radiative transfer at different energy levels.

Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer, 5th Edition

Providing a comprehensive overview of the radiative behavior and properties of materials, the fifth edition of this classic textbook describes the physics of radiative heat transfer, development of relevant analysis methods, and associated mathematical and numerical techniques. Retaining the salient features and fundamental coverage that have made it popular, Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer, Fifth Edition has been carefully streamlined to omit superfluous material, yet enhanced to update information with extensive references. Includes four new chapters on Inverse Methods, Electromagnetic Theory, Scattering and Absorption by Particles, and Near-Field Radiative Transfer Keeping pace with significant developments, this book begins by addressing the radiative properties of blackbody and opaque materials, and how they are predicted using electromagnetic theory and obtained through measurements. It discusses radiative exchange in enclosures without any radiating medium between the surfaces―and where heat conduction is included within the boundaries. The book also covers the radiative properties of gases and addresses energy exchange when gases and other materials interact with radiative energy, as occurs in furnaces. To make this challenging subject matter easily understandable for students, the authors have revised and reorganized this textbook to produce a streamlined, practical learning tool that: • Applies the common nomenclature adopted by the major heat transfer journals • Consolidates past material, reincorporating much of the previous text into appendices • Provides an updated, expanded, and alphabetized collection of references, assembling them in one appendix • Offers a helpful list of symbols With worked-out examples, chapter-end homework problems, and other useful learning features, such as concluding remarks and historical notes, this new edition continues its tradition of serving both as a comprehensive textbook for those studying and applying radiative transfer, and as a repository of vital literary references for the serious researcher.

A modern, computer-oriented approach to thermodynamics, this text includes new second law material to tie the modern treatment in with the classical approach. Revised and expanded problems at the end of each chapter are complemented by complete solutions worked out in the manual. More topics and applications in Chapters 7-11 make for superior pedagogy; and a more flexible, expanded Software Disk, including revised STEAM tables and two new programs, make this text a strong entry in the thermodynamics market.
