ADRIAN BEJAN, PhD, is the J. A. Jones Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Duke University. He received his engineering degrees from the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology (BS 1972, MS 1972, PhD 1975). An internationally recognized authority in heat transfer and thermodynamics, Dr. Bejan has pioneered the methods of entropy generation minimization, scale analysis, heatline visualization of convection, and buckling flows. He is the recipient of the Worcester Reed Warner Medal (1996), Heat Transfer Memorial Award (1994), James Harry Potter Gold Medal (1990), and Gustus L. Larson Memorial Award (1988), all from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Dr. Bejan is the author of 250 articles and eight books, including the Wiley books Convection Heat Transfer (Second Edition), Heat Transfer, and Thermal Design and Optimization (with G. Tsatsaronis and M. Moran).
