It discusses the world’s current energy consumption and the role of renewable energy, examines exothermic reactions, uses Mathcad® to calculate a plot of Gibbs energy, explains the Lambda sensor, and employs FactSage software to calculate and describe the production of silicon in an arc (oven) furnace. It also re-works problems that have proven to be the most difficult and adds several new ones to amplify complex areas.
This updated edition of a perennial bestseller offers a simplified presentation of an abstract topic. An abundance of drawings, graphs, examples, and problems amplify theory and show how derived equations are used to model physical problems. This classic text covers practical applications in a way that de-emphasizes mathematical techniques but preserves physical interpretation of heat transfer fundamentals and modeling of heat transfer phenomena. End-of-chapter problems proceed from short simple confidence builders to difficult ones that help readers develop a rigorous approach to problem solving.
