This text draws on Professor Jiji’s broad teaching experience to provide students with a solid foundation in convection heat transfer. It emphasizes fundamentals, physical phenomena, and mathematical modeling of convection. It also includes a comprehensive introduction to the important topic of convection in micro-channels. Jiji's extensive understanding of how students think and learn, what they find difficult, and which elements need to be stressed is integrated in this work. He employs an organization and methodology derived from his experience and presents the material in an easy to follow form, using graphical illustrations and examples for maximum effect. Additional highlights of note: Illustrative examples are used to demonstrate the application of principles and the construction of solutions. Solutions follow an orderly approach used in all examples. Systematic problem-solving methodology emphasizes logical thinking, assumptions, approximations, application of principles and verification of results. Significant ancillary materials are available for instructors and students. PowerPoint lectures are closely coordinated with textbook material, thus eliminating the need for note taking by students. Chapter summaries help students review the material. Guidelines for solving each problem can be selectively given to students.

Voltage stability is a critical issue in the secure operation of the restructured power system. Poor voltage conditions lead not only to voltage collapse in the system but can also induce oscillatory instability that may cause a loss of synchronism. A critical question is how to estimate the distance to voltage instability given the present state of the system. Computational Techniques for Voltage Stability Assessment and Control brings together in one place the computational tools necessary to compute the voltage stability margin. The basic computational tool for tracing the P-V curve and equilibria tracing is the continuation power flow. This technique as well as the algorithm is explained in detail by the author. Sensitivity of the voltage stability margin to various parameters in the system is discussed extensively both theoretically and in a numerical context. The key concepts of both saddle node and Hopf bifurcation are covered. These are illustrated with the differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model of the system. The model is complex enough to include Load Tap-Changing transformers as well as HVDC models. The dynamic model of the generating unit includes the exciter since it plays a crucial role in voltage stability. A promising decoupled dynamic simulation technique is introduced for time domain analysis. Computational Techniques for Voltage Stability Assessment and Control provides the computational tools and algorithms needed for development of on-line voltage security assessment.
