Computational Heat Transfer

Presents the computational approach for solving heat transfer and fluid flow problems. This book covers the finite differences, finite volume and finite element methods. It discusses the basic mathematical background for developing numerical schemes and the numerical modeling of complex practical systems.
This new edition updated the material by expanding coverage of certain topics, adding new examples and problems, removing outdated material, and adding a computer disk, which will be included with each book. Professor Jaluria and Torrance have structured a text addressing both finite difference and finite element methods, comparing a number of applicable methods.
