Conduction Heat Transfer

Fourier's Law through Laplace transforms. This foundation forms the basis for the courses taught in every mechanical engineering discipline at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The author goes beyond this to thoroughly cover key applications of conduction including those systems found in biological systems, in inverse conduction situations and in microscale sytems. Aziz also adds a chapter covering the use of the popular MapleR8 mathematical software and a chapter on research projects. Both these chapters are meant to help structure and expand upon the basic course in conduction. A solutions manual will be available.
