Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena : An Introduction to the Thermophysics of Vaporization and Condensation Processes in Heat Transfer Equipment, Third Edition

"Since the second edition of Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena was written, research has substantially enhanced the understanding of the effects of nanostructured surfaces, effects of microchannel and nanochannel geometries, and effects of extreme wetting on liquid-vapor phase-change processes. To cover advances in these areas, the new third edition includes significant new coverage of microchannels and nanostructures, and numerous other updates. More worked examples and numerous new problems have been added, and a complete solution manual and electronic figures for classroom projection will be available for qualified adopting professors"-- Provided by publisher Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page Dedication Contents Preface Nomenclature Author Biography Introductory Remarks PART I: Thermodynamic and Mechanical Aspects of Interfacial Phenomena and Phase Transitions Chapter 1: The Liquid-Vapor Interfacial Region: A Nanoscale Perspective 1.1.
