The book proposes a clear, logical and up-to-date path through heat transfer, from fundamental formulas to applications related to fire safety.
The work combines the classical elements of thermodynamics with modern engineering needs.
In addition to a detailed presentation of the three forms of heat transfer - conduction, convection and radiation - the work also explores combined transfer, as it appears in real scenarios, such as the development of a fire in a room.
The book has references to the latest national regulations and methodologies, European and international standards, valid in 2025, so as to achieve a clear link between theory and practice.
With the help of numerous explanatory figures, graphs, tables and step-by-step solved examples, the concepts are presented in a real context.
