Book Description

Annotation Consists of 37 papers drawn from sessions held by the heat transfer division of the ASME during the November 2002 congress. The contributors explore high performance computing in thermal problems, numerical modeling of turbulent heat transfer, parametric estimation in thermal systems, and industrial applications. Topics include tin solidification in the presence of turbulent natural convection, an inverse algorithm to estimate spatially varying thermal contact resistance, a global heat transfer model for a silicon crystal growth system, and heat transfer correlations for a CVD optical fiber coating process.
