Heat Transfer In Condensation And Boiling (international Series In Heat And Mass Transfer)

I welcome the opportunity to have my book translated, because of the great emphasis on two-phase flow and heat transfer in the English-speaking world, as related to research, university education, and industrial practice. The 1988 Springer-Verlag edition of "Warmeiibergang beim Kondensieren und beim Sieden" has been enlarged to include additional material on falling film evaporation (Chapter 12) and pressure drop in two-phase flow (Chapter 13). Minor errors in the original text have also been corrected. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Green, Asso­ ciate Professor of German at Rensselaer, for his excellent translation and co­ operation. My thanks go also to Professor Bergles for his close attention to technical and linguistic details. He carefully read the typescript and made many comments and suggestions that helped to improve the manuscript. I hope that the English edition will meet with' a favorable reception and contribute to better understanding and to progress in the field of heat transfer in condensation and boiling. February 1992 K. Stephan Preface to the German-Language Edition This book is a continuation of the series "Heat and Mass Transfer" edited by U. Grigull, in which three volumes have already been published. Its aim is to acquaint students and practicing engineers with heat transfer during condensa­ tion and boiling, and is intended primarily for students and engineers in mechanical, chemical, electrical, and industrial processing engineering.

The book is divided into two separate and comprehensive sections. Each section begins with a description of the basic physical phenomena, models and theories. Heat transfer problems are then discussed for a wide range of applications. The book provides an overview of the state of the art and points out possible improvements and open questions. The subject is treated at a level appropriate for graduate courses. Covers the physical phenomena and the different technical applications of heat transfer in condensation and boiling. Divided into two separate sections, the book first addresses basic physical phenomena and then a range of applications. Future improvements are suggested and questions raised.
