Description
Intended for mechanical engineers and researchers in heat transfer and fluid dynamics, this text emphasises the generalized integral transform technique (GITT) and the developments that have made the technique a powerful computational tool of increasing practical interest. The book begins with an overview of GITT, contrasting this approach with classical analytical ideas. The classical integral transform technique is then briefly reviewed. The remainder of the book is devoted to GITT and considers diffusion-convection problems with variable equation coefficients in general functional form, situations of variable coeffiecients in boundary conditions, problems with variable boundaries, classes of problems with difficult auxiliary eigen value-type problems, and analysis on nonlinear diffusion-convection problems through this hybrid approach.
