The first heat transfer book fully integrating Maple into the study of heat conduction.

OVERVIEW

Symbolic algebra packages such as Maple are popular and efficient tools in engineering and scientific research. This book is the first heat transfer book to fully integrate Maple into the study of elementary and advanced heat conduction, including one-dimensional conduction, two-dimensional steady conduction, transient conduction, oscillatory conduction, extended surfaces, and special functions.

Heat Conduction with Maple can be used as a self-contained study of heat conduction or as a supplement to existing textbooks. The reader will learn important heat conduction concepts and applications while simultaneously mastering a powerful software tool that can be utilized to pursue new and challenging problems not only in conduction but also in convection and radiation.

Highlights include:

  • A brief overview of Maple provides quick working knowledge
  • Examples drawn from traditional and contemporary topics in heat conduction
  • Symbolic analytic, numerical and graphical solutions presented simultaneously
  • Coverage of special functions, Laplace transformation, similarity analysis, and the method of complex combination
  • Comprehensive coverage of extended surfaces including electronics cooling
  • Implementation of finite difference solution strategies
  • Optimization techniques for thermal system design
