Engineers face many challenges in systems design and research. Modeling and Approximation in Heat Transfer describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of the most important physical features and approximating their behavior. Many excellent textbooks on thermal science have been written. Yet, most of these texts lack any systematic discussion of how modeling and associated synthesis can be carried out - in engineering practice, these steps very often precede mathematical analysis or the need for precise results. This text stresses modeling in physical terms, rather than fancy calculations. With the aid of the book, students have greater facility in breaking down complex engineering systems into simplified thermal models that allow essential features of their performance to be assessed and modified.
