Lupi S. Fundamentals of Electroheat: Electrical Technologies for Process Heating

New York: Springer, 2016. - 632 p.Provides a comprehensive overview of the main electrical technologies for process heating
Reviews the main applications of the various technologies
Written by experts from the internationally acclaimed electroheating team at the University of Padua’s Engineering Faculty
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the main electrical technologies for process heating, which tend to be treated separately in specialized books. Individual chapters focus on heat transfer, electromagnetic fields in electro-technologies, arc furnaces, resistance furnaces, direct resistance heating, induction heating, and high-frequency and microwave heating. The authors highlight those topics of greatest relevance to a wide-ranging teaching program, and at the same time offer a detailed review of the main applications of the various technologies. The content represents a synthesis of the extensive knowledge and experience that the authors have accumulated while researching and teaching at the University of Padua’s Engineering Faculty. This text on industrial electroheating technologies is a valuable resource not only for students of industrial, electrical, chemical, and material science engineering, but also for engineers, technicians and others involved in the application of electroheating and energy-efficient industrial processes.Topics:Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineering
