Synopsis
Presented in ten edited chapters this book encompasses important emerging topics in heat transfer equipment, particularly heat exchangers. The chapters have all been selected by invitation only. Advances in high temperature equipment and small scale devices continue to be important as the involved heat transfer and related phenomena are often complex in nature and different mechanisms like heat conduction, convection, turbulence, thermal radiation and phase change as well as chemical reactions may occur simultaneously. The book treats various operating problems, like fouling, and highlights applications in heat exchangers and gas turbine cooling. In engineering design and development, reliable and accurate computational methods are required to replace or complement expensive and time consuming experimental trial and error work. Tremendous advancements in knowledge and competence have been achieved during recent years due to improved computational solution methods for non-linear partial differential equations, turbulence modelling advancement and developments of computers and computing algorithms to achieve efficient and rapid simulations. The chapters of the book thoroughly present such advancement in a variety of applications.

À propos de l?auteur
Dr. Qiuwang Wang received a B.Sc. in Fluid Machinery from Xi an Jiaotong University, China, in 1991 and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering Thermophysics from the same university in 1996. He then joined the faculty of the university. He is now a full professor at the School of Energy and Power Engineering, Xi an Jiaotong University where is actively involved in both teaching and research in heat transfer. He is a member of several committees, editorial boards and various professional societies. He has given many invited talks worldwide. He has supervised more than 60 PhD or master students. He has also been author or co-author of 4 books and more than 150 journal papers, about half of which are in international journals. He has obtained 15 China invent patents and one US patent. Dr. Yitung Chen received his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering at University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah in 1991 after obtaining his M.S. in 1988 from the same school. His B.S. received in 1983 is in chemical engineering from Feng Chia University, Taichung, Taiwan. Since 1994 he has been affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he was promoted to full professor in 2009. His academic and industrial experiences in numerical and experimental fluid mechanics and thermal-fluid sciences cover multidisciplinary areas of mechanical, biomedical, environmental, chemical, and nuclear engineering. Dr. Chen is an expert in computational and experimental aspects of momentum, heat, and mass transfer. He is a fellow of ASME. Dr. Chen has over the last six years published more than 50 journal papers and more than 100 conference papers in a wide variety of topics. In addition, he has co-authored a monograph, book chapters and technical reports. Bengt Sunden received his M.S. in 1973, Ph.D. in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1979, and docent in applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics in 1980, all from Chalmers Universities of Technology, Goteborg, Sweden. He became Professor of Heat Transfer in 1992 at Lund University. Since 1995 he serves as the head of the Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden. His research topics are enhancement of heat transfer in compact heat exchangers, computational methods of convective flow and heat transfer in complex narrow geometries, combustion-related heat transfer including thermal radiation, gas turbine heat transfer (impinging jets, film cooling, ribbed ducts), evaporation and condensation in plate heat exchangers, thermal imaging techniques, PIV, and multiscale and multiphysics transport phenomena in fuel cells. He has published more than 500 journal papers, books, and proceedings. He has also delivered many keynote and invited lectures. He has been editor of 25 books published by international publishing houses and author of two textbooks (one in Swedish, one in English). He is involved in referee tasks for more than 40 international journals and has been active in several international and organizing committees and boards. He is also editor-in-chief for a book series, Developments in Heat Transfer (also published by WIT Press). In addition, he is active editor for four journals. He is a fellow of the ASME and a 2011 recipient of the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award.
