TI - Numerical heat transfer and fluid flow SN - 9781138564695 U1 - 621.4022 P37 PY - 2009/// CY - New York PB - CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group) KW - Discretization methods-- Taylor series formulation KW - Heat conduction KW - Calculation of the flow field N1 - This book focuses on heat and mass transfer, fluid flow, chemical reaction, and other related processes that occur in engineering equipment, the natural environment, and living organisms. Using simple algebra and elementary calculus, the author develops numerical methods for predicting these processes mainly based on physical considerations. Through this approach, readers will develop a deeper understanding of the underlying physical aspects of heat transfer and fluid flow as well as improve their ability to analyze and interpret computed results ER -
