Advanced Computational Methods and Experiments in Heat Transfer XI (Wit Transactions on Engineering Sciences)

This book contains the edited versions of most of the papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Advanced Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements in Heat Transfer and Mass Transfer held in Tallinn, Estonia in 2010. The conference series provides a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative research, new approaches and application of advanced computational methods and experimental measurements to heat and mass transfer problems. Research and development in computational methods for solving and understanding heat transfer problems continue to be important because heat transfer topics are often of a complex nature and more than one mechanism (such as heat conduction, convection, turbulence, thermal radiation and phase change) may occur simultaneously. Typically, applications are found in heat exchangers, gas turbine cooling, turbulent combustion and fires, fuel cells, micro- and minichannels, electronics cooling, melting and solidification etc..
