Synopsis

This book is the first comprehensive treatment of latent heat transfer. It is designed for engineering graduate students who will later be required to work in industrial or environmental settings where latent heat transfer is important. The book provides a fundamental treatment of such topics as boiling, condensation, melting, and solidification and has been written to provide both insight and example for the student. There are also preparatory chapters on the history and significance of the subject, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, as well as a final chapter devoted to worked examples. Emphasis throughout is placed on fundamentals which apply equally to both industrial and environmental situations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is the first comprehensive work on latent heat transfer. It covers all forms of latent heat: evaporation, sublimation, melting, condensation, freezing, and deposition. It has been designed to provide both insight and example for junior engineering graduate students. The three preparatory chapters, on history and significance, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics, are followed by self-contained treatments of solidification (and fluidification), condensation, and evaporation (including boiling). Direct contact latent heat transfer is covered separately. The final chapter is devoted exclusively to worked examples. Emphasis throughout is placed on fundamentals which apply equally to industrial and environmental situations.

Revue de presse

Must reading for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty, specializing in thermal sciences. An excellent buy. (Choice)

A truly outstanding textbook ... will become a highly consulted reference on the subject for years to come. (Applied Mechanics Review)
