Synopsis
To be successful in the international marketplace, corporations must have access to the latest developments and most recent experimental data. Traditional handbooks of heat transfer stress fundamental principles, analytical approaches to thermal problems, and elegant solutions to classical problems. The CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering is not a traditional handbook. Engineers in industry need up-to-date, accessible information on the applications of heat and mass transfer-The CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering provides it.
Peer reviewed articles-selected on the basis of their current relevance to the development of new products-provide in-depth treatment of applications in diverse fields, such as:
Bioengineering
Desalination
Electronics
Energy conservation
Food processing
Measurement techniques in fluid flow and heat transfer
You'll find complete, up-to-date information on the latest development in the field, including:
Recent advances in thermal sciences
Microthermal design
Compact heat exchangers
Thermal optimization
Exergy analysis
A unique, one-stop resource for all your thermal engineering questions
From the basics of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer, to comprehensive treatment of current applications, the latest computational tools, to data tables for the properties of gases, liquids, and solids, The CRC Handbook of Thermal Engineering has it all!
Biographie de l'auteur
Dr. Frank Kreith is Professor Emeritus of Engineering at the University of Colorado and currently serves as the ASME Legislative Fellow for Energy and Environment at the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver, CO. In this capacity, he provides technical assistance on engineering and science topics such as energy management, waste disposal, environmental protection, and utility restructuring to legislators and their staff in all 50 state governments.Previously, he was a research engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory from 1945 to 1949 and a Guggenheim Fellow at Princeton University from 1950 to 1951. Between 1951 and 1977, Dr. Kreith taught mechanical engineering at the University of California at Berkeley, Lehigh University, and the University of Colorado.From 1978 to 1988, Dr. Kreith was Chief of Thermal Research and Senior Research Fellow at the Solar Energy Research Institute, currently the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. During his tenure at SERI, he participated in the Presidential Domestic Energy Review, the White House Forum on Domestic Energy Policy, and edited the ASME Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. In 1995, he participated in the White House Forum on Technology for a Sustainable Future. He has served as a national lecturer for Sigma Xi and is currently a distinguished lecturer for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.Dr. Kreith is the recipient of the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award (1972), the ASME Worcester R. Warner Medal (1981), the Distinguished Service Award of the Solar Energy Research Institute (1983), the Max Jakob Memorial Award of ASME/AIChE (1986), the Charles Greeley Abbott Award of the American Solar Energy Society (1988), the ASME Energy Resource Technology Award (1989), the Ralph Coates Roe Medal of ASME (1992), and the Professional and Scholarly Excellence Award of the Association of American Publishers (1995). In 1997, he was awarded the Washington Award by a consortium of seven engineering societies for "unselfish and preeminent service in advancing human progress."He is the author of textbooks on heat transfer, nuclear power, solar energy, and energy management. He has edited handbooks on energy conservation, solid waste management, and energy efficiency. He has also published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles on various mechanical engineering topics.Dr. Kreith has had wide experience in mechanical engineering as teacher and consultant for academia, industry, and governments all over the world. His assignments have included consultancies for NATO, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the United Nations, the National Academy of Engineering, and the U.S. Department of Energy. Dr. Kreith is a member of Pi Tau Sigma, Sigma Xi, a Life Fellow of ASME, and a Fellow of AAAS.
