With its uncommon presentation of instructional material regarding mathematical
modeling, measurements, and solution of inverse problems, Thermal Measurements
and Inverse Techniques is a one-stop reference for those dealing with various
aspects of heat transfer.
Progress in mathematical modeling of complex industrial and environmental
systems has enabled numerical simulations of most physical phenomena. In
addition, recent advances in thermal instrumentation and heat transfer modeling
have improved experimental procedures and indirect measurements for heat
transfer research of both natural phenomena and manmade applications. These new
resources and methods help theoretical, computational, and experimental
researchers synergistically interact to better understand the physical phenomena
being studied. This book explores how inverse analysis can
