This edited volume is a collection of reviewed and relevant research chapters concerning the developments within the inverse heat conduction and heat exchangers field of study. The book includes scholarly contributions by various authors and it has been edited by a group of experts pertinent to heat conduction and heat exchangers. Each contribution comes as a separate chapter complete in itself but directly related to the book's topics and objectives.

The book is divided in two sections: Heat Exchanger and Inverse Problem. The Heat Exchanger section includes chapters dealing with the topics: "Application of Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques: A State-of-the-Art Review", Applications of Compound Nanotechnology and Twisted Inserts for Enhanced Heat Transfer", "Tubular Heat Exchanger Fouling in Phosphoric Acid Concentration Process", "Fouling in Heat Exchanger and Molecular Dynamics" "Simulations Based Study on Enhancing Thermal Properties of Graphene Reinforced Thermoplastic Polyurethane Nanocomposite for Heat Exchanger Materials". The following section, Inverse Problem, includes "A Numerical Approach to Solving an Inverse Heat Conduction Problem Using the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm", "The Fundamental and Application of Surface Heat Flux Estimation by Inverse Method in Spray Cooling", "Equation of State (EOS)", "Influence of Input Parameters on the Solution of Inverse Heat Conduction Problem", "Introduction to Numerical Approaches for Forward and Inverse Heat Transfer Problems".

The target audience comprises scholars and specialists in the field.
