Inverse Heat Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications

This updated text introduces the fundamental concepts of inverse heat transfer solutions, showing their application for solving problems in convection, conduction, radiation, and multi-physics problems. The text introduces a formulation based on generalized coordinates for the solution of inverse heat conduction problems in two-dimensional regions.

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of inverse heat transfer solutions and their applications for solving problems in convective, conductive, radiative, and multi-physics problems. Inverse Heat Transfer: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition includes techniques within the Bayesian framework of statistics for the solution of inverse problems. By modernizing the classic work of the late Professor M. Necati Özisik and adding new examples and problems, this new edition provides a powerful tool for instructors, researchers, and graduate students studying thermal-fluid systems and heat transfer.
