Liquid-vapour phase-change phenomena. An introduction to the thermophysics of vaporization and condensation processes in heat transfer equipment.

Type of monograph: Other

Summary

The book, part of the "Series in chemical and mechanical engineering", focuses on basic elements of condensation and vaporization processes. Extract of contents: thermodynamic and mechanical aspects of interfacial phenomena and phase transitions; boiling and condensation near immersed bodies (heterogeneous nucleation and bubble growth in liquids; pool boiling; external condensation); internal flow convective boiling and condensation (two-phase flow; internal convective condensation; convective boiling in tubes and channels); special topics and applications (instabilities; binary mixtures: pool boiling, convective boiling and convective condensation; enhanced flow passages for condensers and evaporators). Basic elements of the kinetic theory of gases and saturation properties of selected fluids are given in the appendices.
