This book provides a detailed yet comprehensive presentation of the
theory of periodic conjugate heat transfer. It contains an analytical
approach to the effects of thermophysical and geometrical properties of
a solid body on the experimentally determined heat transfer coefficient.
The main objective of the book is a simplified description of the
interaction between a solid body and a fluid as a boundary value problem
of the heat conduction equation.This third and extended edition covers
Wall's thermal effect on Landau stability, gas bubbles pulsations in
fluids, and also the interplay between periodic conjugate heat transfer
and non-Fourier heat conduction. The target audience primarily comprises
research experts in the field of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, but
the book may also be beneficial for graduate students in engineering.
