This is the story of my life. The bad things that happened to me as I grew up and the good things that happened along the way. That is why I titled it, A Life of Trials and Triumphs. I wanted to do this for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The things that happened to me and how I overcame them and even though I overcame them I have a life that is now a happy pleasant and loving one. Especially after I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He changed my life and he is the center of everything that I do and say. Now that I am approaching the age of 82, I can say that I am content and happy. I want to do the best that I can in serving the Lord and spreading his word to those who need it. And to do my best for him each day that I am given. I thank and praise him everyday. I was born in Central Falls, Rhode Island. At the age of seven we moved to Long Island, New York and then at eleven we moved to Ohio. I have lived there ever since. When I was 17, I enlisted in the United States Navy during World War 2. When I got out of the Navy, I became a Police Officer and this was a position that I really enjoyed. I worked at the Police Department and I did it for 51 years. At the age of 51, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, and have been serving him ever since and will continue to serve him the best that I can and I know how until I go to be with him.
This extensively revised 4th edition provides an up-to-date, comprehensive single source of information on the important subjects in engineering radiative heat transfer. It presents the subject in a progressive manner that is excellent for classroom use or self-study, and also provides an annotated reference to literature and research in the field. The foundations and methods for treating radiative heat transfer are developed in detail, and the methods are demonstrated and clarified by solving example problems. The examples are especially helpful for self-study. The treatment of spectral band properties of gases has been made current and the methods are described in detail and illustrated with examples. The combination of radiation with conduction and/or convection has been given more emphasis nad has been merged with results for radiation alone that serve as a limiting case; this increases practicality for energy transfer in translucent solids and fluids. A comprehensive catalog of configuration factors on the CD that is included with each book provides over 290 factors in algebraic or graphical form. Homework problems with answers are given in each chapter, and a detailed and carefully worked solution manual is available for instructors.
