Abstract
Engineers in a variety of disciplines are concerned about heat transfer. There are many engineering objectives that are encountered in this variety of disciplines, which can be classified into a simplified set of engineering objectives as follows:
-
1.
Move heat to where we want it.
-
2.
Move heat away from where we do not want it.
-
3.
Keep heat from leaving where we wish to retain it.
-
4.
Keep heat from entering where we wish to avoid it.
