An invaluable resource for the latest on heat transfer engineering and research that discusses issues of relevance for aerospace applications
Heat Transfer in Aerospace Applications is the first book to provide an overall description of various heat transfer issues of relevance for aerospace applications. The book contains chapters relating to convection cooling, heat pipes, ablation, heat transfer at high velocity, low pressure and microgravity, aircraft heat exchangers, fuel cells, and cryogenic cooling systems. Chapters specific to low density heat transfer (4) and microgravity heat transfer (9) are newer subjects which have not been previously covered. The book takes a basic engineering approach by including correlations and examples that an engineer needs during the initial phases of vehicle design or to quickly analyze and solve a specific problem. Designed for mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineers in research institutes, companies, and consulting firms, this book is an invaluable resource for the latest on aerospace heat transfer engineering and research.
"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 Journal Every 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
