Dr. C Balaji is currently the T.T.Narendran Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, India. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Guindy Engineering College, Chennai, in 1990 and obtained his M.Tech (1992) and Ph.D. (1995) from IIT Madras in the area of heat transfer. His areas of interest include heat transfer, computational radiation, optimization, inverse problems, satellite meteorology and atmospheric sciences. He has more than 200 international journal publications to his credit and has guided 30 students so far. Prof. Balaji has several awards to his credit and notable among them include Young Faculty Recognition Award of IIT Madras (2007) for excellence in teaching and research, K.N. Seetharamu Award and Medal for excellence in Heat Transfer Research (2008), Swarnajayanthi Fellowship Award of the Government of India (2008-2013), Tamil Nadu Scientist Award (2010) of the Government of Tamilnadu , Marti Gurunath Award for excellence in teaching (2013) and Mid-Career Research Award (2015) both awarded by IIT Madras. He is a Humboldt Fellow and an elected Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering. Prof.Balaji has authored 8 books thus far. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences.
Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer focuses only on the essential topics required to gain an understanding of radiation heat transfer to enable the reader to master more challenging problems. The strength of the book lies in its elaborate presentation of the powerful radiosity-irradiation method and shows how this technique can be used to solve a variety of problems of radiation in enclosures made of one to any number of surfaces in both transparent and participating media. The book also introduces atmospheric radiation in which engineers can contribute to the technology of remote sensing and atmospheric sciences in general, by a better understanding of radiation.
The author has included pedagogical features such as end-of-chapter exercises and worked examples with varying degrees of difficulty to augment learning and self-testing. The book has been written in an easy- to- follow conversational style to enhance reader engagement and learning outcomes. This book will be a useful guide for upper undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, atmospheric sciences, and energy sciences.
