Inverse Heat Conduction 2nd Edition

Capture the critical challenge of recovering lost temperature fields with Inverse Heat Conduction, 2nd Edition by Hamidreza Najafi, Keith A. Woodbury, Filippo de Monte, and James V. Beck — a definitive, modern guide for practitioners and researchers tackling ill-posed thermal problems.

Clear and compelling, this updated edition translates advanced theory into practical tools. It explains the nature of inverse problems in transient heat transfer, presents robust regularization strategies, and compares numerical approaches — from finite-difference and finite-element implementations to optimization and Bayesian methods — with real-world case studies. Detailed chapters cover boundary condition estimation, sensor placement, noise handling, and error propagation, making complex mathematics accessible to engineers, scientists, and graduate students.

Why this book matters: mastering inverse heat conduction unlocks better thermal control in aerospace structures, electronics cooling, manufacturing process monitoring, geothermal systems, and forensic investigations. The authors combine academic rigor with applied insight, helping readers design experiments, select algorithms, and interpret reconstructed temperature fields reliably.

Ideal for professionals in the United States, UK, Europe, India, China and worldwide, this edition equips readers to move from uncertain measurements to confident thermal diagnoses. Whether you’re an R&D engineer, academic, or advanced student, this book is the practical reference you’ll return to again and again.
