"The First Edition of Inverse Heat Conduction: Ill-Posed Problems has long been thought of as the "gold standard" on the topic. Now, in the long-awaited Second Edition, the leading experts in the field explain the latest inverse heat conduction problems in a way that is accessible and understandable for today's generation of engineers and researchers. In addition to discussing established IHCP techniques like the Stoltz method, Function Specification method, Tikhonov Regularization method, and Singular Value Decomposition method, the book has been thoroughly updated to cover new and advanced IHCP topics like Optimal Regularization, Temperature Measurement, Multiple Heat Flux Estimation, Temperature Dependent Material Properties, and IHCP in Multi-Dimensional Domains. Updated figures are featured throughout the book and all plots have been re-generated using MATLAB for enhanced quality. New industrial examples connect theory to applications such as directional flame thermometers, casting, thermal protection of space vehicles during atmospheric entry, and more. Each chapter features examples and problems to reinforce concepts and the book is accompanied by downloadable MATLAB codes covering all solution methods for every example in the book"-- Provided by publisher.
