Summary

"This book provides an introduction to applications of the finite element method for the solution of industrial heat transfer problems. A review of the various thermal phenomena is presented, which an engineer can then use to simulate real world problems. The methods presented will enable the reader to gain optimal benefits from finite element software and also to develop new applications."--BOOK JACKET.
