Quenching is one of the most fundamentally complex processes in the heat treatment of metals, and it is something on which mechanical properties and distortion of engineering components depend. This title covers such topics as: thermo-and fluid dynamic principles of heat transfer during cooling; and, wetting kinematics.
Offering nomenclature, numerous worked examples, and a large number of problems, This book covers major areas such as surface properties, surface transport, properties of participating media, and, transfer through participating media. It includes a large number of computer codes (in Fortran and C++), and covers experimental methods.
Underlines the objective of the understanding of the physical phenomena involved and the ability to formulate and to solve typical problems. This book identifies the similarities in both qualitative and quantitative approach between heat and mass transfer.
Introduces the concepts of temperature and its measurement to engineers, physicists and chemists of all disciplines. This book describes a range of techniques and devices available for temperature measurement and provides guidance for the selection of a particular method for a given application. It also includes worked examples of real situations.
