Cryogenic Heat Transfer

Cryogenic Heat Transfer, Second Edition, is an updated and expanded version of this popular book. The concepts of cryogenic heat transfer in conduction, convection and radiation are developed and explained, with numerous worked examples and chapter problems. The new edition features integration of computational software methods, based around the EES software product. Applications from a wide range of technical areas - including fuel processing, biomedical uses, MRI & nuclear magnetic resonance - are explained. The result is a unique book that can be used by professionals working with cryogenics, and graduate students.

Randall F. Barron is professor emeritus of mechanical engineering at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. He received his BS in mechanical engineering from Louisiana Tech University, his MS and PhD in mechanical engineering from The Ohio State University in Columbus. He is the author of three other college-level textbooks: Cryogenic Systems, Industrial Noise Control, and Design for Thermal Stresses. Dr. Barron has served on the Cryogenic Engineering Conference Board and the editorial board of Cold Facts (Cryogenic Society of America). He is also a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Gregory F. Nellis is professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He received his MS and PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a member of the Cryogenic Society of America (CSA) and the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Professor Nellis is the coauthor of two other college textbooks: Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics. He is a fellow of ASHRAE and received the Boom Award for excellence in cryogenic research.
