OverviewProblems in thermal design are encountered in a vast array of fields, from manufacturing equipment to energy systems and consumer products to scientific apparatuses. The aim of this book is to provide the tools needed to achieve solutions to these problems. Written for the non-specialist, this comprehensive resource addresses the use and control of thermal phenomena in both products and processes. The book offers a foundation to the four principal facets of thermal design: heat transfer analysis; materials performance; heating and cooling technology; and instrumentation and control. The focus is on providing practical thermal design and development guidance across the spectrum of problem analysis, material applications, equipment specification and sensor and control selection.
