| Summary: | The second edition of this graduate text describes the current state of knowledge in boiling heat transfer and two-phase flow in terms through which students can attain a consistent and thorough understanding of the phenomena. Prediction of real or potential boiling heat transfer behavior, both in steady and transient states, also is covered to aid engineering design of reliable and effective systems. Completely augmented and updated, this book examines progress that has been made in areas such as: pool boiling and flow boiling, modeling of two-phase flow, evaluation of the forced-convection boiling crisis, experimentation at or near the boiling crisis, flow instability research, heat transfer at temperatures above those at critical heat flux conditions and prediction of the thermal hydraulic behavior of boiling devices. In addition, a survey of the extensive research on liquid-metal boiling is included. Applications to high heat flux equipment, such as nuclear reactors, are emphasized. |
