Industrial Mathematics: Case Studies in the Diffusion of Heat and Matter

by Philip Broadbridge, Glenn R. Fulford, Glenn Robert Fulford

Book Overview

The focus in this text is on mathematical modelling stimulated by contemporary industrial problems involving heat conduction and mass diffusion. These include continuous metal casting, laser drilling, spontaneous combustion of industrial waste, water filtration and crop irrigation. The industrial problems prove to be an excellent setting for the introduction and reinforcement of modelling skills, equation solving techniques, qualitative understanding...
