Transient Temperatures in Engineering and Science

Zusatztext `The book successfully blends basic scientific concepts and engineering applications. The fundamentals are very clearly described at a level appropriate to final-year undergraduates, while the details and case studies will be of value to scientists and engineers wishing to measure thermal transients.' Measurement Science and Technology Klappentext For anyone involved in mechanical or chemical engineering, experimental physics, or chemistry, the techniques available for the measurement of transient temperatures and heat flows are described in this book. The emphasis is on practical experimental techniques and applications, and various numerical methods for analyzing these results are also included. Zusammenfassung This book gives a comprehensive account of the principles and practical methods applicable to transient temperature measurements in engineering and science. Transient temperatures are taken to be in the range from about 200K to 6000K and with timescales from tenths of nanoseconds to tens of seconds. Within these limits is a very large field of combustion and gas dynamics and these are the principle areas which are addressed. Several new experimental and theoretical techniques are introduced and various modes of thermal failure are described.The chapters move from undergraduate material to the latest methods and are designed to be of use to the widest possible range of engineers, scientists, and students working in universities or in chemical or mechanical engineering. Many applications are described.
