Summary Table of Contents Author Biography

An all-encompassing guide to designing and optimizing modern thermal systemsToday's thermal systems have wide and varied uses-from providing electrical power generation in large manufacturing plants to cooling in electronic devices. As these systems grow technologically and continue to extend their reach, knowledge of their design and functionality takes ongreater significance for engineers.In an easy-to-follow format, Thermal Design combines learning tools such as example problems, mathematical modeling, and computer software to help students ... MOREand practitioners grasp complex design concepts quickly. Step-by-step instruction on creating virtual thermal systems augments the book's teachings on fundamentals, theory, and techniques, allowing readers to reach graphical solutions of even highly detailed processes confidently. Thermal Design:Provides the derivative process of each equation, plotted in figures that can be easily followedDelivers tutorials in the appendices appropriate for use in computational fluid dynamics and MathCAD homework problemsCovers topics such as microelectronic cooling, green energy conversion, thermal control, and management in spaceThis straightforward guide separates itself from other books in the field by covering a broader range of insightful topics concerning thermal devices, making it an ideal textbook for college students as well as a valuable companion for professionals in the field.

Written for a a senior undergraduate or the first-year graduate textbook, this book covers modern thermal devices such as heat sinks, thermoelectric generators and coolers, heat pipes, and heat exchangers as design components in larger systems. These devices are becoming increasingly important and fundamental in thermal design across such diverse areas as microelectronic cooling, green or thermal energy conversion, and thermal control and management in space. The graphical presentation in Thermal Design provides designers or students with the rich and flexible solutions toward achieving the optimal design.

The proposed is written as a senior undergraduate or the first-year graduate textbook,covering modern thermal devices such as heat sinks, thermoelectric generators and coolers, heat pipes, and heat exchangers as design components in larger systems. These devices are becoming increasingly important and fundamental in thermal design�across such diverse areas�as microelectronic cooling, green or thermal energy conversion, and�thermal control and management in space, etc. However, there is no�textbook available covering this range�of topics. The proposed book may be used as a capstone design course after the fundamental courses such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The underlying concepts�in this book�cover the,�1) understanding of the physical mechanisms of the thermal devices with the essential formulas and�detailed derivations, and 2) designing the thermal�devices in conjunction with mathematical modeling, graphical optimization, and occasionally computational-fluid-dynamic (CFD) simulation.��Important design examples are developed using the commercial software,�MathCAD, which allows the�students to�easily reach the graphical solutions even with highly�detailed processes. In other words, the design concept is embodied through the example problems. The graphical presentation generally provides designers or students with the rich and flexible solutions toward achieving the optimal design.� A solutions manual will be provided.
