Collect Measurements, Mechanisms, And Models Of Heat Transport In Condensed Matter And Planetary Interiors Penned By Anne M Hofmeister Distributed As E-Text

Mechanisms, and Models of Heat Transport in Condensed Matter offers an interdisciplinary approach to the composition, dynamics and thermal evolution of planetary interiors.
Using a combination of fundamentals, new developments in the research, and scientific and mathematical principles, this timely reference summarizes the stateoftheart application of heat transport to geophysics.
Covering both microscopic and macroscopic phenomena of heat transport, the book offers both the fundamental knowledge and uptodate measurements and models to encourage further improvements and lead to a better understanding of the interior, formation and evolution of planetary bodies.





Provides an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of the thermal evolution of large planetary bodies, including contributed chapters from leading experts
Combines stateoftheart measurements and solutions with core principles to lead to a better understanding of Earth's interior, formation and evolution
Organized in two parts, focusing first on microscopic aspects of heat transport and the physical principles underlying it, and then

covering macroscopic phenomena as they pertain to deciphering the thermal structure of planetary bodies
Includes access to a companion website with updated and recent data, and intext boxes that highlight future questions to ponder.
