PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TRANSFER was first published in 1959, and since then it has grown to be considered a classic within the field, setting the standards for coverage and organization within all other Heat Transfer texts. The book is designed for a one-semester course in heat transfer at the junior or senior level, however, flexibility in pedagogy has been provided. Following several recommendations of the ASME Committee on Heat Transfer Education, Kreith, Manglik, and Bohn present relevant and stimulating content in this fresh and comprehensive approach to heat transfer, acknowledging that in today's world classical mathematical solutions to heat transfer problems are often less influential than computational analysis. This acknowledgement is met with the emphasize that students must still learn to appreciate both the physics and the elegance of simple mathematics in addressing complex phenomena, aiming at presenting the principles of heat transfer both within the framework of classical mathematics and empirical correlations. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

This book focuses on the analytic principles of business practice and big data. Specifically, it provides an interface between the main disciplines of engineering/technology and the organizational and administrative aspects of management, serving as a complement to books in other disciplines such as economics, finance, marketing and risk analysis. The contributors present their areas of expertise, together with essential case studies that illustrate the successful application of engineering management theories in real-life examples.

Aerodynamics by Theodore Von Karman is a classic textbook that provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of aerodynamics. The book covers the fundamental concepts of fluid dynamics, including the behavior of gases and liquids, the equations of motion, and the principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. It also explores the physics of aerodynamic forces, such as lift and drag, and the role of viscosity and turbulence in the flow of fluids. The book includes detailed discussions of various aerodynamic phenomena, such as boundary layers, shock waves, and vortices, and their impact on aircraft design and performance. It also covers the design and analysis of airfoils, wings, and other aerodynamic components, as well as the principles of aircraft stability and control. Written by one of the most renowned figures in the field of aerodynamics, this book is an essential resource for students and professionals in the aerospace industry, as well as anyone interested in the science of flight. With its clear explanations, extensive illustrations, and practical examples, Aerodynamics is a valuable reference for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the principles that govern the behavior of fluids in motion.Selected Topics In The Light Of Their Historical Development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The author explores the ways in which games can be used to instruct and inform as well as provide pleasure. He uses innovative approaches to problem solving through individualized game techniques. Topics improving education with games; educational games for the physical and social sciences; games for the learning disadvantaged; games for occupational choice and training; games for planning and problem solving in government and industry; and the future of serious games. This book was originally published in 1970 by Viking Press.

In 1945, Dr. Ernst Weber founded, and was the first Director of, the Microwave Research Institute (MRI) at POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY (at that time named the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn). MRI gained world-wide recognition in the 50's and 60's for its research in electromagnetic theory, antennas and radiation, network theory and microwave networks, microwave components and devices. It was also known through its series of topical symposia and the widely distributed hard bound MRI Symposium Proceedings. Rededicated as the Weber Research Institute (WRI) in 1986, the research focus today is on such areas as electromagnetic propagation and antennas, ultra broadband electromagnetics, pulse power, acoustics, gaseous electronics, plasma physics, solid state materials, quantum electronics, electromagnetic launchers, and networks. Following the MRI tradition, WRI has launched its own series of in-depth topical conferences with published proceedings. The first conference was held in October, 1990 and was entitled Directions in Electromagnetic Wave Modeling. The proceedings of the conference were published under that title by Plenum Press. This volume constitutes the Proceedings of the second WRI International Conference dealing with Ultra·Wideband Short·Pulse Electromagnetics.

In this monograph, the authors propose a systematic and rigorous treatment of electromagnetic field representations in complex structures. The architecture suggested in this book accommodates use of different numerical methods as well as alternative Green's function representations in each of the subdomains resulting from a partitioning of the overall problem. The subdomains are regions of space where electromagnetic energy is stored and are described in terms of equivalent circuit representations based either on lumped element circuits or on transmission lines. Connection networks connect the subcircuits representing the subdomains. The connection networks are lossless, don't store energy and represent the overall problem topology. This is similar to what is done in circuit theory and permits a phrasing of the solution of EM field problems in complex structures by Network-oriented methods.

Papers on the location and behavior of zeros, including some of Polya's most influential work.The papers in this volume cluster about the following topics: the location of the zeros of polynomials and other analytic functions; the approximation of analytic functions by polynomials in which the location of zero is restricted (these papers represent some of Polya's most influential work); the behavior of the zeros of successive derivatives; the zeros of functions defined by trigonometric integrals; and the signs of derivatives and their analytic character. The volume also includes a paper that is not about zeros but contains a representation theorem for positive polynomials in several variables.

Richard Brauer (1901-1977) was one of the leading algebraists of this century. Although he contributed to a number of mathematical fields, Brauer devoted the major share of his efforts to the study of finite groups, a subject of considerable abstract interest and one that underlies many of the more recent advances in combinatorics and finite geometries.

Heralds of Science: As Represented by Two Hundred Epochal Books and Pamphlets is a comprehensive guide to the most significant scientific publications in history. Written by Bern Dibner, a renowned collector of rare scientific books and manuscripts, this book features 200 seminal works that have shaped the course of scientific progress. The book is divided into six sections, each covering a different area of science: astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, and technology. Each section includes a brief introduction to the field, followed by a selection of books and pamphlets that have had a significant impact on that area of study. The book is beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs of the featured publications, as well as portraits of the scientists who wrote them. The text is written in an accessible style, making it easy for readers of all levels of scientific knowledge to understand and appreciate the importance of these works. Heralds of Science is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and the key figures and publications that have shaped our understanding of the world around us. It is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone with a passion for science and its impact on society.This is a new release of the original 1955 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
