Dive into the essential principles of Phase Change Heat Transfer with this comprehensive guide. “Phase Change Heat Transfer: Boiling and Condensation” explores the intricate theory and experimental findings of heat transfer during boiling and condensation processes. It delves into the fundamental interactions of solid-liquid-vapor phases, detailing surface wettability and interfacial tension measurements. Discover mechanistic insights into pool boiling, including accurate correlations for nucleate boiling, critical heat flux (CHF), and post-CHF regimes, alongside analyses of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. The book further examines both film and dropwise condensation, presenting integral and differential solutions for laminar film condensation. Ideal for advanced engineering students and instructors in mechanical, aerospace, nuclear, and chemical engineering, this book provides a robust foundation for understanding advanced heat and mass transfer phenomena.
