NEW STUDENT EDITION OF

FOUNDATIONS OF ELECTROHEAT:A Unified Approach

A.C. Metaxas, University of Cambridge, UK

Foundations of Electroheat unifies an extremely diverse area of electricity utilisation in a coherent and concise reference. From laser welding to plasma furnaces for waste treatment and induction heating for forging to radio frequency drying of textiles, the various topics that comprise electroheat are presented as a whole.

The unified approach concentrates on three major themes:

The impact of computers on electrotechnology is explored by considering topics such as expert systems, neural networks and computational electromagnetics.

Featuring industrial applications and case studies, as well as worked examples of the principles involved, this text is essential reading for the engineering students of electroheat. Professional engineers, scientists and echnologists interested in the efficient utilisation of electrical energy will find this an invaluable reference.
