This book explores the nature of creativity in engineering and technology, and how it relates to creativity in art or science. Lienhard has for ten years done a twice-weekly radio show, carried on about 35 NPR stations, consisting of 3-minute essays on technology. He uses the substance of selected segments of his radio program to create a continuous narrative presenting his insights on technological creativity. This book has the same title as his radio program, to further draw the attention of his one million listeners.
Introduction to heat and mass transfer for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students, used in classrooms for over 38 years and updated regularly. Topics include conduction, convection, radiation, and phase-change. 2019 edition.
Original publication and copyright date: 2006.
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.
Written by two recognized experts in the field, this introduction to heat and mass transfer for engineering students has been used in the classroom for over 32 years, and it's been revised and updated regularly. Worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises appear throughout the text, and a separate solutions manual is available to instructors upon request.
