Computational Heat Transfer

Professor Jaluria has been teaching at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering since 1980. He is currently the Boards of Governors Professor at Rutgers.After receiving his doctoral degree, Kenneth Torrance held a joint appointment with the Fire Research Section of the National Bureau of Standards and the Factory Mutual Engineering Corporation, in Norwood Massachusetts.

The second edition updates information and terminology to reflect changes over the past 15 years. SciTech BookNews, March 2003Book News, Inc..'The second edition of Computational Heat Transfer is, as the authors state, an updated and extended version of the first edition...The character of the book remains a survey of numerical methods, primarily finite differences and finite element, for solution of heat transfer problems... The emphasis is on conduction and convection, although radiation is treated in its own chapter and there are interesting case studies of multinode processes, some of importance in manufacturing. The presentations are good, and the references from the literature are well selected to direct independent readings for those who wish to delve deeper.'
