Joseph Fourier: The Analytical Theory of Heat (1822) and the Foundation of the Science of Heat Flow
摘要
Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier[aut]Fourier, Joseph (1768-1830) (1768–1830) derived the modern phenomenological theory of heat flowHeat flow in his classic Théorie Analytique de la Chaleur (1822). The background to this mathematical theory is presented and the full theory is described. Several actual laboratory situations are discussed in detail. The mathematical level of this chapter is Calculus in Three Dimensions. The physical principles of actual heat flow are also discussed in detail at the phenomenological level. This work is the basis for all modern books on heat flowHeat flow and is worth the effort to read and understand it for all practitioners and teachers of Transport.
