§16§This substantially updated and augmented second edition adds over 200 pages of text covering and an array of newer developments in nanoscale thermal transport. In Nano/Microscale Heat Transfer, 2nd edition, Dr. Zhang expands his classroom-proven text to incorporate thermal conductivity spectroscopy, time-domain and frequency-domain thermoreflectance techniques, quantum size effect on specific heat, coherent phonon, minimum thermal conductivity, interface thermal conductance, thermal interface materials, 2D sheet materials and their unique thermal properties, soft materials, first-principles simulation, hyperbolic metamaterials, magnetic polaritons, and new near-field radiation experiments and numerical simulations. Informed by over 12 years use, the author's research experience, and feedback from teaching faculty, the book has been reorganized in many sections and enriched with more examples and homework problems. Solutions for selected problems are also available to qualified fac §16§ulty via a password-protected website.- §04§Introduction.- Overview of Macroscopic Thermal Sciences.- Elements of Statistical Thermodynamics and Quantum Theory.- Kinetic Theory and Micro/Nanofluidics.- Thermal Properties of Solids and the Size Effect.- Electron and Phonon Transport.- Nonequilibrium Energy Transfer in Nanostructures.- Fundamentals of Thermal Radiation.- Radiative Properties of Nanomaterials.- Near-Field Energy Transfer.- Appendix A.- Appendix B §13§§"The book is well written and covers many important topics on nano heat transfer. It will serve as a text book for the graduate students and a reference book for the researchers and technologists. It will find an important place in the libraries of the universities and the scientific laboratories." (K. N. Shukla, zbMATH 1455.80003, 2021)§
