Heat Transfer in Aerospace Applications

Bengt Sundén received M. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering 1973, Ph. D. and Docent in Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics 1979 and 1980, respectively, from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He is a Professor of Heat Transfer at Lund University, Sweden since 1992 and served as Head of Energy Sciences during 1995-2016. The research activities include compact heat exchangers, enhanced heat transfer, gas turbine heat transfer, combustion-related heat transfer and others. He established and was editor-in-chief of International Journal of Heat Exchangers 1999-2008, associate editor of ASME J. Heat Transfer 2005-2008, editor-in-chief of Developments in Heat Transfer (WIT Press, UK). He published >700 papers in >300 journals, books, and proceedings, edited 30 books and authored three textbooks. He supervised more than 180 M Sc theses, 46 Licentiate of Engineering theses, 44 PhD-theses. Juan Fu is a relatively recent PhD graduate working in the field of aerospace heat transfer.

"I was quite excited about the book as there hasn’t been any book on heat transfer especially dedicated for the aerospace applications. The heat transfer concept has been explored and explained in many ways for various engineering applications but this First edition book describes the concept of heat transfer in the context of aerospace applications.Overall, this is a great book to understand the nuances of heat transfer in aerospace applications." --The Aeronautical JournalEvery chapter ends with an extensive list of references used in that chapter which guides the reader to explore further for research if needed. It would be beneficial if some numerical problems taken from real-life aerospace challenges are added at the end of each chapter. This would not only help students understand the concept of heat transfer in aerospace applications but to apply the knowledge learned from this book. This change would make this book a great addition to a university library. Overall, this is a great book to understand the nuances of heat transfer in aerospace applications." -The Aeronautical Journal
