Liquid Vapor Phase Change Phenomena

Liquid-Vapor Phase-Change Phenomena presents the basic thermophysics and transport principles that underlie the mechanisms of condensation and vaporization processes. This second edition has been updated to provide additional coverage on nano- and microscale thermophysics of boiling and condensation phenomena. It also contains material on the use of advanced computational tools to create new models of phase-change events. Illustrated throughout using examples and problems, the text emphasizes the importance of basic phenomena in a wide variety of applications. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
