About this title

Synopsis

This beginning graduate text is the first comprehensive work on latent heat transfer. It covers all forms: evaporation, sublimation, melting, condensation, freezing, and deposition. The work has been designed to provide both insight and example for junior engineering graduate students. The three introductory chapters on the history and significance of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are followed by self-contained treatments of solidification, fluidification, condensation, evaporation and 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 processes.

Review

"Lock's unique and comprehensive exposition of latent heat transfer covers a variety of phase change processes....Lock is exceptionally well-qualified....writes in a clear, crisp style....An excellent buy." --Choice
