Opis

Heat transfer phenomena involving boiling and condensation are an important aspect of engineering in the power and process industries. This book, aimed at final year undergraduates and graduate students in mechanical or chemical engineering, deals with these phenomena in detail. The first part of the book describes gas-liquid two-phase flow, as a necessary preliminary to the later discussion of heat transfer and changes of phase. A detailed section on calculation methods shows how theory can be put to practical use, and there are also descriptions of some of the equipment and plant used in the process and power industries.

Heat transfer phenomena involving boiling and condensation are an important aspect of engineering in the power and process industries. This book (first published in 1987) is aimed at final year undergraduates and graduate students in mechanical or chemical engineering and deals with these phenomena in detail. Now published in paperback, the book contains a new problems section.

Recenzje

'it does a very good job of providing clear and concise explanations of the material and topics covered ... Undoubtedly a valuable text for undergraduates, providing easily digestible material on boiling and condensation.' Martyn S. Ray, Developments in Chemical Engineering (Vol. 15, No. 1,) March 1992
