Heat Conduction, Fifth Edition

Heat Conduction, Fifth Edition, 5th Edition, is a textbook designed for graduate students and serves as a resource for practicing engineers. It presents a systematic foundation in the mathematical formulation and solution of heat conduction problems.

The volume opens with fundamental concepts and the governing equation of heat conduction, then moves through one-dimensional conduction and multidimensional problems. Readers explore orthogonal functions, Fourier series, transforms, integral equations, and finite difference numerical methods.

For this 2018 release, the authors added an integral transform approach for solving conduction problems in heterogeneous media. The textbook also provides new and revised problems for practice, alongside complete problem solutions for instructors.
