Finite Element Analysis In Heat Transfer: Basic Formulation & Linear Problems (Series in Computational and Physical Processes in Mechanics and Thermal Sciences)

This introductory text presents the applications of the finite element method to the analysis of conduction and convection problems. The book is divided into seven chapters which include basic ideas, application of these ideas to relevant problems, and development of solutions. Important concepts are illustrated with examples. Computer problems are also included to facilitate the types of solutions discussed.
