Thermal Analysis of Materials

by Robert Speyer

Overview

Discussing the design and optimum use of thermal analysis instrumentation for materials' property measurement, this work details how the instruments work, what they measure, potential pitfalls and the fitting of experimental results to theoretical models. It presents a tutorial on writing computer programs for data manipulation, advanced thermoanal

Editorial Reviews

A textbook for undergraduate students of materials engineering, or for industrial personnel wondering how to use the gadget they just bought. Explains the instruments and techniques of testing the properties of materials at high temperature, and of interpreting the results. Unlike many such texts, also covers pyrometry in general, infrared and optical temperature measurement, thermal conductivity, and glass viscosity. Annotation c.
