Electrothermal devices

About the book

The main goal of the authors was to prepare a comprehensive manual synthesizing electrothermia around the possible methods of converting electric energy into heat, talking about the nature of electrothermal problems and their applications in connection with power supply and regulation systems and their impact on the quality of technological processes. This handbook is addressed to a wide range of recipients, such as students of electrical and metallurgical departments, material engineering, mechanical technical universities, and in particular to engineers and technicians who work professionally with electrothermia, as well as automation and electronics, for whom an electrothermal device can be interesting object of regulation and automation.
