Heat Conduction Fifth Edition upholds its reputation as the leading text in the field for graduate students and as a resource for practicing engineers. The text begins with fundamental concepts introducing the governing equation of heat conduction and progresses through solutions for one-dimensional conduction orthogonal functions Fourier series and transforms and multi-dimensional problems. Integral equations Laplace transforms finite difference numerical methods and variational formulations are then covered. A systematic derivation of the analytical solution of heat conduction problems in heterogeneous media introducing a more general approach based on the integral transform method has been added in this new edition along with new and revised problems and complete problem solutions for instructors. .
