Multiphase Flow And Heat Transfer: Second International Symposium (Volume 1)

Fine / Near Fine. Binding tight. Crisp, unmarked pages. No jacket. Multiphase flow and heat transfer applications are found in a wide range of engineering systems, such as heat exchangers, boilers, evaporators, condensors, boiling water reactors, particle separators, filters and fluidized beds.Over the past three decades problems and instabilities in two-phase flow heat transfer have challenged many investigators, as these phenomena affect not merely the efficient and economical design of equipment, but also its safety in operation. Owing to the recent energy and environmental crises, many other multiphase flow and heat transfer problems have become important. Some of these include: modeling of the loss-of-coolant accident in pressurized water nuclear reactors, scaling up of fluidized bed reactors for converting coal to clean gaseous and liquid fuels, design of heat exchangers for liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, and control of microcontamination and air pollution control.…
