DESCRIPTION:
This book is very useful for my research work This book is very useful for my research work. Although the first few chapters are summaries of what one learns in different courses, the "parallel treatment" is a good concept. And the last few chapters are getting deeper.. Great book to supplement a nanoscale heat transfer course Great book to supplement a nanoscale heat transfer course. The text is laid out in a way that it is very readable and you are able to teach yourself the material.. "Get this book of you're doing research on solid materials!!!" according to Trent Vaughn. Great book! It covers a wide range of topics in a naturally interconnected way. I'm studying material science, but the book is written in a way that would benefit EEs, MEs, chemists, physicist. I'm reading it with Kittel's solid state physics, Sze's Semiconductor device and technology, and griffith's Electrodynamics. They complement each other well!
"This book is designed as a senior- or graduate-level course resource and will also serve as a reference for practicing engineers and researchers."--CHOICE
. Gang Chen is at MIT
It provides a comprehensive overview of microscale heat transfer, focusing on thermal energy storage and transport. Chen broadens the readership by incorporating results from related disciplines, from the point of view of thermal energy storage and transport, and presents related topics on the transport of electrons, phonons, photons, and molecules. This is a graduate level textbook in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion that can also be used as a reference for researchers in the developing field of nanoengineering. This book is part of the MIT-Pappalardo Series in Mechanical Engineering.
