Request a sales quoteHeat 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.
- Provides an overall description of heat transfer issues of relevance for aerospace applications
- Discusses why thermal problems arise and introduces the various heat transfer modes
- Helps solve the problem of selecting and calculating the cooling system, the heat exchanger, and heat protection
- Features a collection of problems in which the methods presented in the book can be used to solve these problems
Researchers, laboratories and consulting firms with an interest in aerospace, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and fundamental heat transfer
