TI - Modeling and approximation in heat transfer SN - 9781107012172 U1 - 621.4022011 PY - 2016/// CY - New York PB - Cambridge University Press KW - Heat -- Transmission -- Mathematical models KW - Heat engineering -- Mathematics N1 - Engineers face many challenges in systems design and research. Modeling and Approximation in Heat Transfer describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of the most important physical features and approximating their behavior. Systematic discussion of how modeling and associated synthesis can be carried out is included - in engineering practice, these steps very often precede mathematical analysis or the need for precise results ER -
