This is a complete revision of a well respected reference which covers the basic equations for numerical method calculations as applied to heat transfer problems and apply these to problems encountered in aerospace, nuclear/power, chemical process, electronic packaging other related areas of mechanical engineering. As with the first edition, the handbook presents a comprehensive but accessible coverage of the necessary formulations, numerical schemes, and innovative solution techniques for solving problems of heat and mass transfer and related fluid flows. The contents are grouped by major sets of methods and functions, with the text describing new and improved, as well as standard, procedures. The contributions, written by leading authorities in the field, cover parabolic systems, hyperbolic systems, integral and integro-differential systems, Monte Carlo and perturbation methods, and inverse problems.
