Der Wärmeübergang durch Strahlung hat in den letzten Jahren erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen, vor allem durch die Raumfahrttechnik, Sonnenenergiegewinnung, Energiesparmaßnahmen usw. Dieser Band der Reihe enthält die theoretischen Grundlagen der Temperaturstrahlung, eine eingehende Behandlung des "idealen Strahlers" - des Schwarzen Körpers -, die klassische elektromagnetische Theorie, insoweit sie zur Berechnung der Strahlungseigenschaften von Leitern und Nichtleitern herangezogen werden kann, Materialeigenschaften - speziell der Oberfläche - und deren gezielte Beeinflussung werden beschrieben. An den deutschen Hochschulen wird dieses Gebiet jedoch kaum ausführlich behandelt. Das Buch soll daher sowohl den Studenten als die Vorlesung begleitendes Lehrbuch als auch dem planenden Ingenieur und Praktiker als Lehrbuch zum Selbststudium und als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Durchgerechnete Beispiele sollen helfen, die Theorie mit der Praxis zu verbinden.

Das mit dem vorliegenden Teil 3 abgeschlossene dreib{ndige Werk liefert eineausf}hrliche und vollst{ndige Beschreibung der W{rme}bertragung durch Strahlung. Es zeichnet sich durch eine detaillierte Ableitung der Gesetze f}r den W{rme}bergang durch Strahlung, eine sorgf{ltige Darstellung der Bedingungen, denen die Strahlungsgesetze unterliegen, und zahlreiche erl{uternde Beispiele und Aufgaben aus. Band 3 behandelt die W{rme}bertragung von absorbierenden, emittierenden und streuenden Medien. Das Buch wendet sich nicht nur an Studenten der h|heren Semester, sondern vor allem an den planenden Ingenieur zur Fortbildung und zum Nachschlagen.

Something strange is happening in the peaceful little Kingdom of Wundle. An evil Gryfuss is on the loose. Instead of eating fair young maidens (like most monsters) the Gryfuss is lulling everyone into a mysterious, unwakable sleep...Two children, Prince Herald and the beautiful Gwendolyn, escape the evil spell and set out for help. They travel through strange and dangerous lands until they meet the Shepherd in the Golden Land Without Shadow. Here each is given a seemingly impossible task to complete. As Gwendolyn weaves a wondrous tapestry on a magical loom, Prince Herald must overcome a dark, beguiling force. Mysteriously, Gwendolyn's weaving and the help that comes only by Grace give the Prince courage to meet this challenge...The Kingdom of Wundle is a story for children of all ages, full of wonder, spiritual insight, and sheer beauty.

The play of light and shadow, sea and sky; tropical breezes and the chill breath of arctic ice mountains; the mystery of Leviathan, greatest of all God's creatures, of endless undersea caverns, of krill beds stretching miles in all directions and hundreds of fathoms deep, of the Ice at the End of the World, of the haunting song of the humpback whale. These are the elements woven into a tapestry of wonder and enchantment by Robert Siegel...Here is the story of Hruna the humpback whale, from birth marked for greatness by his size and courage. As days of carefree frolicking give way to adolescence, Hruna prepares for the Lonely Cruise, the rite of passage into adulthood, by visiting the Great Whale who lives on the ocean floor. There he learns the myth of origins and receives his true name in preparation for the swift adventures and narrow escapes that propel him into the ultimate challenge of leading his pod of whales in a desperate fight for survival.

WHALESONG introduced Hruna, a humpback whale, in an ecological parable of personal and spiritual growth. Now, in WHITE WHALE, meet Hruna's son, Hralekana, and enter a deep sea world that dazzles and delights...Embarking on the Lonely Cruise, a yearling's rite of passage, Hralekana experiences the adolescent's fear and exhilaration as he sings the Song of the Open Sea. His adventures expose him to dangerous oil spills, frightening visions of the wreck of the Titanic, a kind and ecologically concerned human whom he befriends, and finally, a terrifying encounter with the dark side of humanity...From his carefree childhood to the dramatic challenges of his adulthood, Hralekana's trials, triumphs, and laughter contain lessons on love, nature, and sacrifice, for him and for the rest of us.

In The Ice at the End of the World, Robert Siegel brings the Whalesong trilogy to an exciting conclusion as Hralekana, the white humpback whale, and his human friend, Mark, struggle to prevent a nuclear catastrophe. Like the two previous books in the trilogy, this captivating tale evokes for readers of all ages the rich poetry of whales sea, and sky.

Something sinister is happening in the dark, oppressed Kingdom of Grog.
