Heat transfer in construction systems technology (translation from German)

The process of transferring thermal energy from one place to another is called heat transfer or heat transport. In the case of heat transfer from one space or from a liquid, through a partition, to a second space or a second liquid, we speak of heat transmission. Partition walls are used to calculate heat exchangers, heating and cooling surfaces, and to calculate heat loss in a building, walls or windows.

This book deals exclusively with stationary heat transfer processes, i.e. constant temperature differences over time (without heating or cooling processes).
