Heat transfer virtual lab for students and engineers : theory and guide for setting up /

Laboratory experiments are a vital part of engineering education, which historically were considered impractical for distance learning. In view of this, the proposed book presents a guide for the practical employment of a heat transfer virtual lab for students and engineers. The main objective of ou...
