I welcome the opportunity to have my book translated, because of the great emphasis on two-phase flow and heat transfer in the English-speaking world, as related to research, university education, and industrial practice. The 1988 Springer-Verlag edition of "Warmeiibergang beim Kondensieren und beim Sieden" has been enlarged to include additional material on falling film evaporation (Chapter 12) and pressure drop in two-phase flow (Chapter 13). Minor errors in the original text have also been corrected. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Green, Asso ciate Professor of German at Rensselaer, for his excellent translation and co operation. My thanks go also to Professo...
* Third edition of a well-known and well established text both in industry and for teaching * Fully up-to-date and includes extra problems This book is an aid to heat exchanger design written primarily for design and development engineers in the chemical process, power generation, and refrigeration industries. It provides a comprehensive reference on two-phase flows, boiling, and condensation. The text covers all the latest advances like flows over tube bundles and two-phase heat transfer regarding refrigerants and petrochemicals. Another feature of this third edition is many new problems at chapter ends to enhance its use as a teaching text for graduate and post-graduate courses on two-phase flow and heat transfer. - ;This book is written for practising engineers as a comprehensive reference on two-phase flows, boiling, and condensation. It deals with methods for estimating two-phase flow pressure drops and heat transfer rates. It is a well-known reference book in its third edition and is also used as a text for advanced university courses. Both authors write from practical experience as both are professional engineers. -
Bose-Einstein Condensation represents a new state of matter and is one of the cornerstones of quantum physics, resulting in the 2001 Nobel Prize. Providing a useful introduction to one of the most exciting field of physics today, this text will be of interest to a growing community of physicists, and is easily accessible to non-specialists alike.

In this book, the author focuses on the physics behind dew, breaths figures, and dropwise condensation phenomena to introduce scientists, engineers and students to the many original processes involved in condensation. Consisting of 15 Chapters, 18 Appendices and over 500 references, the reader learns the needed theoretical backgrounds and formulae to understand the complexity of dropwise condensation. Heat and mass transfer, nucleation and growth on various substrates are considered (solid, liquid, plastic, undergoing phase change or micro-patterned substrates). The particular role of thermal or geometrical discontinuities where growth can be enhanced or reduced, dynamical aspects of self-di...
A comprehensive set of titles about physical science topics that feature easy-to-follow text, lab activities, supporting graphics, highlighted content-area vocabulary, sidebars, photographs, graphs, glossary and index.
Every winter millions of homes in the UK suffer from condensation. About two million of them are badly affected and experience widespread dampness, often leading to persistent mould growth on walls, fabrics, carpets, clothes and shoes. This can cause great anxiety to householders, and is a common cause of complaint to landlords. In new homes, the Building Regulations are designed to provide the right conditions, and condensation is much less common in dwellings built since the mid-1980s. In refurbishment of older property, a great deal can be done to overcome the problem by selecting the right combination of remedial measures. But condensation can occur even in an 'ideal home', and part of the remedy always lies in the hands of the householder. In some homes, the problem can be greatly reduced by the occupants adopting a more suitable pattern of heating, opening windows more often and using extract fans at the right time.
This book introduces advanced water vapour condensation processes, modelling and control technologies in order to find a sustainable solution in an industrialised society. The theoretical analysis and modelling of heat and mass transfer rates produced in a condensation process is a significant issue in a design of wide range of industrial processes and devices. It includes five advanced and revised contributions which cover the laminar film-wise condensation; the condensation at nanoscale; the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds in aqueous medium; the condensation for solar still and the effect of noncondensable gases on condensation.
This book summarizes results on the creation of a new theory of condensation which has an impact on consideration of some microscopic effects left aside in the usual nucleation theories. In particular, the main idea of the authors' microscopic condensation theory is that it considers the violation of the equilibrium cluster distribution over the internal degrees of freedom due to co-occurring condensation and decay reactions of the clusters.
