Radiative Heat Transfer, Fourth Edition edited by Michael Modest and Sandip Mazumder is a fully updated and revised practical reference on the basic physics and computational tools, which scientists and researchers need to solve problems in the broad field of radiative heat transfer. This book is acknowledged as the core reference in the field, providing models, methodologies and calculations essential in solving research problems. This makes it very applicable to a variety of industries including nuclear, solar and combustion energy, aerospace, chemical and materials processing, as well as environmental, biomedical and nanotechnology fields. The fourth edition is a significant update on the material presented in the previous editions to reflect recent theoretical and experimental developments in the field, as well as the increasing significance of radiative transfer in expanding and emerging engineering and scientific applications. Contemporary examples and problems involving radiation and sustainable energy, materials and process engineering are an essential addition to this book, providing a cohesive and thorough coverage of the fundamentals and applications of radiative heat transfer for those in heat transfer and thermal engineering settings. Includes end-of-chapter problems and a solutions manual to provide a structured and coherent referencePresents many worked examples which have been bought fully up-to-date to reflect the latest researchDetails many computer codes, ranging from basic problems solving aids to sophisticated research tools INDICE: 1.
