The heavily revised and extended second edition offers a complete text and reference book to this well-established approach to the numerical solution of heat transfer and fluid flow problems This 2nd edition is much extended, and is much improved as both a reference and textbook for research and training. It includes a total of 8 new chapters on the topics of radiation heat transfer, heat exchangers, mass transfer, solidification and melting, turbulent heat transfer, adaptive finite element methods, new applications such as fuel cell modelling and special topics of particular interest to heat transfer engineers such as micro-heat transfer equipments and micro-channel flows. These new topics, along with examples of their applications, serve to further illustrate the capabilities and versatility of the finite element method and educate the reader as to the state-of-the-art of the science and technologies involved. All chapters feature new examples and exercises.
* Appropriate for teaching and research at both fundamental and advanced levels * Presents several examples of applications of the finite element method that will be of interest to both students and practitioners * Includes a large number of examples and exercises on heat transfer problems
