The papers contained in this volume reflect the ingenuity and originality of experimental work in the areas of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and thermodynamics. The contributors are drawn from 27 countries which indicates how well the worldwide scientific community is networked. The papers cover a broad spectrum from the experimental investigation of complex fundamental physical phenomena to the study of practical devices and applications. A uniform outline and method of presentation has been used for each paper.

In this authoritative proceedings, over 220 research, keynote, and invited papers present the results of experimental investigations conducted throughout the world over the past five years. Keynote papers in Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, and Thermodynamics 1988 focus on the latest advances in experimental techniques used in thermal and fluid science. Using the International System of Units (SI) throughout, the volume includes contributed research papers that feature experimental methods, phenomenological and analytical/numerical modeling, and analysis of fundamentals and applications. Invited papers review fundamentals and applications in specific areas including: Thermal Radiation and Insulation Systems; Heat Transfer Augmentation; Magnetohydrodynamics; Jet Expansion Measurements in Two-Phase Flow Systems, Forced Convection in High-Temperature Systems; Internal and External Laminar Flows; Gas-Solid and Liquid-Solid Two-Phase Flows; and Axisymmetric and Rotating Flows.

Advances in Heat Transfer

Heat transfer enhancement in single-phase and two-phase flow heat exchangers in important in such industrial applications as power generating plant, process and chemical industry, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and the cooling of electronic equipment. Energy savings are of primary importance in the design of such systems, leading to more efficient, environmentally friendly devices. This book provides invaluable information for such purposes.

* Third edition of a well-known and well established text both in industry and for teaching * Fully up-to-date and includes extra problems This book is an aid to heat exchanger design written primarily for design and development engineers in the chemical process, power generation, and refrigeration industries. It provides a comprehensive reference on two-phase flows, boiling, and condensation. The text covers all the latest advances like flows over tube bundles and two-phase heat transfer regarding refrigerants and petrochemicals. Another feature of this third edition is many new problems at chapter ends to enhance its use as a teaching text for graduate and post-graduate courses on two-phase flow and heat transfer. - ;This book is written for practising engineers as a comprehensive reference on two-phase flows, boiling, and condensation. It deals with methods for estimating two-phase flow pressure drops and heat transfer rates. It is a well-known reference book in its third edition and is also used as a text for advanced university courses. Both authors write from practical experience as both are professional engineers. -
