Electromagnetic waves generate radiation energy, and they play very significant roles in our lives. Electromagnetic waves are studied in almost every scientific field from astronomy, agriculture, chemistry, medicine to physics. This book focuses on heat transfer aspects of electromagnetic waves. There are twenty-four chapters in this book with their solutions to heat transfer from electromagnetic waves' radiation energy with different uses and problems related to our lives. Each problem solution also investigates the sensitivity of critical
independent variables to governing dependent variables.
In this book effects of electromagnetic waves that play significant roles in our
lives through radiation heat transfer are investigated in twenty-four chapters. The
approach to a problem's solution in a chapter starts with an overview of electromagnetic
waves and basic laws of radiation heat transfer, mass transfer and
fluid mechanics. Then simplifying engineering assumptions are discussed and
governing equations, dependent and independent variables are identified. In some
cases, where solutions to basic equations are not possible, past experimental studies
are utilized. Solutions to governing equations are described and presented
graphically. Also, analyses are extended to sensitivities of dependent variables to
independent variables within the region of interest.
