Heat Conduction

The book is designed to: ^ Provide students with the tools to model, analyze and solve a wide range of engineering applications involving conduction heat transfer. ^ Take advantage of the mathematical simplicity of one-dimensional conduction to present and explore a variety of physical situations that are of practical interest. ^ Present textbook material in an efficient and concise manner to be covered in its entirety in a one semester graduate course. ^ Liberate students from the drudgery of copying material from the blackboard and free the instructor from the need to prepare extensive notes. Since lectures follow the material detailed in the book, they can be projected on a screen leaving adequate time for discussion and interchange of ideas. ^ Drill students in a systematic problem solving methodology with emphasis on thought process, logic, reasoning and verification
