Infos

Heat Pipes: Theory, Design and Applications, Seventh Edition, takes a highly practical approach to the design and selection of heat pipes, making it an essential guide for practicing engineers and an ideal text for postgraduate students. The expanded author team consolidate and update the theoretical background included in previous editions, and include new sections on recent developments in manufacturing methods, wick design and additional applications. The book serves as an introduction to the theory, design and application of the range of passive, two-phase, heat-transfer devices known as heat pipes, serving as an essential reference for those seeking a sound understanding of the principles of heat pipe technology. It provides an introduction to the basic principles of operation and design data which would permit the reader to design and fabricate a basic heat pipe. It also provides details of the various more complex configurations and designs currently available to assist in selecting such devices.This new edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest research and technologies and includes four brand new chapters on various types of heat pipe, theoretical principles of heat transfer and fluid mechanics, additive manufacturing and heat pipe heat exchangers. - Fully revised with brand new chapters on Additive Manufacturing and Heat Exchangers - Guides the reader through the design and fabrication of a heat pipe - Includes detail on more complex configurations and designs available to assist in the election of devices

Prof. Jouhara is Professor of Thermal Engineering and Director of Research at the College of Engineering at Brunel University London, Chief Researcher in Vytautas Magnus University and Visiting Professor at City, the University of London. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Thermofluids, Executive Editor of Thermal Science and Engineering Progress and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. Prof. Jouhara is Fellow and Chartered Engineer in both the UK (FIMechE) and Ireland (Engineers Ireland - FIEI), Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineering (FCIBSE), and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), UK. He is Technical Director of Econotherm (UK) Limited, a world-leading British heat pipe heat exchangers manufacturing company, and has an extensive background in experimental heat transfer and fluid dynamics including the design and commissioning of several thermal-fluids experimental test facilities.
