Worked Examples in Heat Conduction

This e-book aims to assist beginners students and rusty practitioners in the subject gain very quickly up to date thorough and kaleidoscopic understanding of and competence in all the essential concepts theories methods calculations etc. of heat conduction. It is the digital version of the printed hard copy edition. The approach in this book to start from fundamental definitions and concepts to state of the art and practical implementations of these is particularly important because modern literature in the subject necessarily presents only the state of the art knowledge in heat conduction taking for granted that fundamental definitions and concepts are already well known and understood. This results in analyses so advanced that beginners students or even rusty practitioners in the subject.find them incomprehensible and not very helpful in their efforts to gain understanding of and competence in the subject. This approach is based on i. developing the ability to formulate and solve problems in heat conduction through thorough understanding of fundamental concepts and definitions and how these lead to practical solutions of these problems. ii. implementing these in a question and answer format in which the more and less obvious aspects of the subject are addressed..
