Online resources: Summary: An all-encompassing guide to designing and optimizing modern thermal systems Today's thermal systems have wide and varied uses-from providing electrical power generation in large manufacturing plants to cooling in electronic devices. As these systems grow technologically and continue to extend their reach, knowledge of their design and functionality takes on greater significance for engineers. In an easy-to-follow format, Thermal Design combines learning tools such as example problems, mathematical modeling, and computer software to help students and practitioners grasp complex design concepts quickly. Step-by-step instruction on creating virtual thermal systems augments the book's teachings on fundamentals, theory, and techniques, allowing readers to reach graphical solutions of even highly detailed processes confidently. Thermal Design: Provides the derivative process of each equation, plotted in figures that can be easily followed Delivers tutorials in the appendices appropriate for use in computational fluid dynamics and MathCAD homework problems Covers topics such as microelectronic cooling, green energy conversion, thermal control, and management in space This straightforward guide separates itself from other books in the field by covering a broader range of insightful topics concerning thermal devices, making it an ideal textbook for college students as well as a valuable companion for professionals in the field.Summary: Intro -- Thermal Design -- Contents -- Preface -- 1 Introduction -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 Humans and Energy -- 1.3 Thermodynamics -- 1.3.1 Energy, Heat, and Work -- 1.3.2 The First Law of Thermodynamics -- 1.3.3 Heat Engines, Refrigerators, and Heat Pumps -- 1.3.4 The Second Law of Thermodynamics -- 1.3.5 Carnot Cycle -- 1.4 Heat Transfer -- 1.4.1 Introduction -- 1.4.2 Conduction -- 1.4.3 Convection -- 1.4.3.1 Parallel Flow on an Isothermal Plate -- 1.4.3.2 A Cylinder in Cross Flow -- 1.4.3.3 Flow in Ducts -- 1.4.3.4 Free Convection -- 1.4.4 Radiation -- 1.4.4.1 Thermal Radiation -- 1.4.4.2 View Factor -- 1.4.4.3 Radiation Exchange between Diffuse-Gray Surfaces -- References -- 2 Heat Sinks -- 2.1 Longitudinal Fin of Rectangular Profile -- 2.2 Heat Transfer from Fin -- 2.3 Fin Effectiveness -- 2.4 Fin Efficiency -- 2.5 Corrected Profile Length -- 2.6 Optimizations -- 2.6.1 Constant Profile Area Ap -- 2.6.2 Constant Heat Transfer from a Fin -- 2.6.3 Constant Fin Volume or Mass -- 2.7 Multiple Fin Array I -- 2.7.1 Free (Natural) Convection Cooling -- 2.7.1.1 Small Spacing Channel -- 2.7.1.2 Large Spacing Channel -- 2.7.1.3 Optimum Fin Spacing -- 2.7.2 Forced Convection Cooling -- 2.7.2.1 Small Spacing Channel -- 2.7.2.2 Large Spacing Channel -- 2.8 Multiple Fin Array II -- 2.8.1 Natural (Free) Convection Cooling -- 2.9 Thermal Resistance and Overall Surface Efficiency -- 2.10 Fin Design with Thermal Radiation -- 2.10.1 Single Longitudinal Fin with Radiation -- References -- Problems -- 3 Thermoelectrics -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Thermoelectric Effect -- 3.2.1 Seebeck Effect -- 3.2.2 Peltier Effect -- 3.2.3 Thomson Effect -- 3.2.4 Thomson (or Kelvin) Relationships -- 3.3 Thermoelement Couple (Thermocouple) -- 3.4 The Figure of Merit -- 3.5 Similar and Dissimilar Materials -- 3.5.1 Similar Materials -- 3.5.2 Dissimilar Materials.PPN: PPN: 809153297Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
