Description eBook delivery & access Reviews
Advances in Heat Transfer fills the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university-level textbooks by providing wide-ranging and in-depth review articles. Put simply, this book is essential reading for all mechanical, chemical and industrial engineers working in the field of heat transfer in graduate schools or industry. The articles, which serve as a broad review for experts in the field, will also be of great interest to non-specialists who need to keep up-to-date with the results of the latest research.

* Provides an overview of review articles on topics of current interest
* Bridges the gap between academic researchers and practitioners in industry
* A long-running and prestigious series
