Overview
- Presents the theoretical basis for thermal conduction in solids, motionless liquids and liquids that move
- Includes a multitude of solved examples and solutions of engineering heat conduction problems, for example during the designing and life-time calculations of industrial machinery, combustion engines and in refrigerating and air conditioning engineering
- User-oriented written, easy to follow
- Makes the reader in a step-by-step fashion acquainted with all the mathematical derivations and solutions to the significant transient and steady-state heat conduction problems
- Accompanying CD-Rom includes computational solutions of the examples/FORTRAN codes

Reviews
From the reviews:
"The present book is devoted to direct and inverse heat conduction problems. … The methods for solving problems involved with welding and laser technology are also discussed in great detail. The present book is addressed to undergraduate and PhD students of mechanical, power, process and environment engineering. … it can also serve as a reference book to be used by nuclear, industrial and civil engineers." (Lubomira Softova, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1122 (24), 2007)

Professor Jan Taler is a director of the Department of Process and Power Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Krakow University of Technology. He has lectures on heat transfer processes and thermal power plants at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Computer and Electrical Engineering. His research interests mainly lie in heat transfer, inverse heat conduction problems and monitoring of thermal stresses, which arise during the operations of energy installations and machinery. The results of his research on heat transfer, thermal stresses, optimum heating and cooling of solids and measuring of heat flux were published in well-known international journals, such as Transactions of the ASME, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Heat and Mass Transfer, Forschung im Ingenieurwessen, Brennstoff-Warme-Kraft, VGB Kraftwerkstechnik and VGB Power Tech.
Professor Taler was a research fellow of DAAD in Germany and of Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Stuttgart. He is also a member of the Committee of Combustion and Thermodynamics at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is also the author of over 200 publications and 5 monographies, including three in German language. He has received Siemens Award for his achievements in scientific research, the Award of the Minister of Education and the Award of the Rector of the Krakow University of Technology.
Dr. Piotr Duda is an associate professor at the Department of Process and Power Engineering of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Krakow University of Technology.
