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. - 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

HEAT-TRANSFER : Aerospace Application - discusses Heat Transfer as BE /BTech degree level subject. This book introduces first the most accepted concepts such as Conduction, Convection and Radiation followed by Numerical Methods and Aerospace Applications. This is a simple book and is divided into 5 chapters and is intended mainly to serve as a textbook for BE/BTech (Aeronautical Engineering) and as reference book postering common basics tor BE (Automobile, Mechatronics, Mechanical & Automation Engineering), ME (Thermal, Aeronautical & Cryogenic Engineering) and PhD (Heat Transfer & Numerical Methods). This book covers all topics for Heat Transfer subject present in BE / BTech (Aeronautical Engineering) and is based on lecture notes as used by author to teach this subject to BE(Aeronautical) students of PSN College of Engineering & Technology (Autonomous) Tirunelveli. Again to say, It is my hope that book will become an invaluable source of essential information for academic, industrial, and governmental researchers working in Aeronautical, Mechanical, Automobile, Mechatronics, Automation, Thermal & Cryogenic Engineering, Computational Methods and others interested in Heat Transfer. All my journal papers and books bear high level of citations and many of my books show high sales volumes in Europe and America.

Spacecraft, space platform, and manned and unmanned space exploration of the future will require increasingly large sources of power for which a variety of conventional and novel systems are being designed. These systems will require heat exchangers as key components, as well as for waste heat rejection. Electronics will be utilized which will also require heat exchangers for cooling. To meet these future waste heat rejection requirements, it is of paramount importance to encourage researchers and practitioners to develop innovative heat exchanger concepts for aerospace applications. The 46 papers in this volume disseminate state-of-the-art information on current developments in this field. The choice of topics reflect the variety and diversity of recent progress in aerospace heat exchanger technology.

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of inverse heat transfer problems. It presents in detail the basic steps of four techniques of inverse heat transfer protocol, as a parameter estimation approach and as a function estimation approach. These techniques are then applied to the solution of the problems of practical engineering interest involving conduction, convection, and radiation. The text also introduces a formulation based on generalized coordinates for the solution of inverse heat conduction problems in two-dimensional regions.

Microscale and Nanoscale Heat Transfer: Analysis, Design, and Applications features contributions from prominent researchers in the field of micro- and nanoscale heat transfer and associated technologies and offers a complete understanding of thermal transport in nano-materials and devices. Nanofluids can be used as working fluids in thermal system

Focusing on heat transfer in porous media, this book covers recent advances in nano and macro’ scales. Apart from introducing heat flux bifurcation and splitting within porous media, it highlights two-phase flow, nanofluids, wicking, and convection in bi-disperse porous media. New methods in modeling heat and transport in porous media, such as pore-scale analysis and Lattice–Boltzmann methods, are introduced. The book covers related engineering applications, such as enhanced geothermal systems, porous burners, solar systems, transpiration cooling in aerospace, heat transfer enhancement and electronic cooling, drying and soil evaporation, foam heat exchangers, and polymer-electrolyte fuel cells.
