Résumé

This handbook, part of the "Mechanical Engineering Handbook Series", contains background information to refresh the reader's memory of the basic principles necessary to understand specific applications and is devoted to applications in thermal design and analysis for technologies of current interest, as well as to computer solutions of heat transfer and thermal engineering problems (food processing, energy conservation, bioengineering, desalination, measurement techniques in fluid flow and heat transfer, etc.). Section themes: engineering thermodynamics (exergy analysis; vapour and gas power cycles; guidelines for improving thermodynamic effectiveness; economic analysis of thermal systems); fluid mechanics; heat and mass transfer (conduction; convection; radiation; phase-change: boiling and condensation, particle gas convection, melting and freezing); applications (heat exchangers; thermal insulation; compressors; pumps and fans; cooling towers; heat transfer in manufacturing; cryogenic systems; air-conditioning systems; optimization of thermal systems; heat transfer enhancement; heat pipes; thermal processing in food preservation technologies; thermal conduction in electronic microstructures; cooling in electronic applications; direct contact heat transfer; temperature and heat transfer measurements); numerical analysis and computational tools. Properties of gases, vapours, liquids and solids are given in the appendices as well as SI units and conversion factors.
