Bücher der Reihe International Series in Heat and Mass Transfer

The present book treats the science of heat conduction to an extent to which it can be taught in the specialized departments of Mechanical, Chemical or Electrical Engineering at a German Engineering University.

I welcome the opportunity to have my book translated, because of the great emphasis on two-phase flow and heat transfer in the English-speaking world, as related to research, university education, and industrial practice.

This research monograph presents a systematic treatment of the theory of the propagation of transient electromagnetic fields (such as optical pulses) through dielectric media which exhibit both dispersion a.nd absorption.
