Boca Raton, Florida, USA, May 12, 2011 – CRC Press is pleased to announce Thermal Computations for Electronics: Conductive, Radiative, and Convective Air Cooling (January 2011; $119.95; ISBN: 978-1-4398-5017-6) written by Gordon Ellison, a renowned professor and professional consultant in analysis and thermal design of electronic equipment. CRC Press is the principal science and technology book division of the Taylor & Francis Group, an Informa Company. So many students and practicing engineers rely solely on thermal analysis programs to perform even the most basic engineering estimates and calculations. This can save time and money, but too many engineers are simply incapable of making determinations on their own because they have not honed basic requisite skills in areas such as calculus, vector and numerical analysis, dimensionless heat transfer, and fluid mechanics correlations. This versatile reference was carefully revised to help readers master mathematical calculation, prediction, and application methods to solve heat transfer problems in electronic equipment. Useful as a professional resource or for a complete course on electronics cooling—with its suggested course schedule and other helpful advice—this book includes: • • • • •
Complete mathematical derivations and supplements formulae with design plots Exercise solutions (with Mathcad™ worksheets in PDF), lecture aids (landscapeformatted PDF files), and text-example Mathcad worksheets for professors Methods for multi-surface radiation exchange, conductive heat transfer in electronics, and finite element theory with a variational calculus method Mathematical descriptions of large thermal network problem formulation Discussion of thermal spreading resistance theory, with steady-state and timedependent problems
Practical and useful for engineers, scientists, and engineering students, this book provides detailed problems with solutions to help users at all levels improve computational practice and better detect their own calculation errors.
