Two-Phase Flow, Boiling, and Condensation In Conventional and Miniature Systems

Fundamentals of thermodynamics and single-phase flows are reviewed. Equilibrium phase diagrams for pure substances and binary fluid mixtures, and metastable states for pure liquids and vapors are discussed. The transport equations and closure relations for single phase flows are presented. Thermodynamic properties of vapor-noncondensable mixtures, and transport properties of pure substances and fluid mixtures are discussed. Gaskinetic theory-based methods for the estimation of transport properties of ideal gases are presented. The universal turbulent boundary layer velocity and temperature profiles are reviewed. Convective heat and mass transfer are then discussed, including the effects of transpiration. Nine solved example problems, and ten end-of-chapter problems are provided.
