The results of theoretical and experimental investigations of heat and mass transfer enhancement on macro-, micro-, and nanoscale in single- and two-phase media, of phase interface vibrations, and of the separation of heterogeneous systems are presented. The research works carried out with the aim of increasing the safety and efficiency of power plants made it possible to develop new methods of heat and mass transfer intensification, formulate new research trends, to create new apparatuses, mathematical models of processes and the engineering methods of their calculations. Propulsion systems of spacecrafts for a piloted mission to Mars and the related methods of heat transfer intensification, the methods of calculation of heat and mass transfer under the conditions of scaling of twisted pipes and pipes with circular diaphragms, and the calculation of the hydrodynamics of multiphase heterogeneous media in a centrifugal field are considered additionally, as well as the results of the investigation into the influence of the roughened surface on heat transfer in boiling on a sphere and correlations of the data on the influence of tape twisting on the critical heat loading are presented. The results of comparing the characteristics of tubular and plate-type heat exchangers with heat transfer intensifiers, characteristics of heat transfer apparatuses with twisted tubes, as well as investigations of heat and mass transfer in condensation of steam from escaping flue gases of boilers are given. The book is intended for specialists involved in the development of power plants.

Most of the shaping in the manufacture of polymeric objects is carried out in the melt state, as it is a substantial part of the physical property development. Melt processing involves an interplay between fluid mechanics and heat transfer in rheologically complex liquids, and taken as a whole it is a nice example of the importance of coupled transport processes. This book is on the underlying foundations of polymer melt processing, which can be derived from relatively straightforward ideas in fluid mechanics and heat transfer; the level is that of an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course, and the material can serve as the text for a course in polymer processing or for a second course in transport processes.

This introduction reviews why combustion and radiation are important, as well as the technical challenges posed by radiation. Emphasis is on interactions among turbulence, chemistry and radiation (turbulence-chemistry-radiation interactions - TCRI) in Reynolds-averaged and large-eddy simulations. Subsequent chapters cover: chemically reacting turbulent flows; radiation properties, Reynolds transport equation (RTE) solution methods, and TCRI; radiation effects in laminar flames; TCRI in turbulent flames; and high-pressure combustion systems. This Brief presents integrated approach that includes radiation at the outset, rather than as an afterthought. It stands as the most recent developments in physical modeling, numerical algorithms, and applications collected in one monograph.

This book is a unique, multidisciplinary effort to apply rigorous thermodynamics fundamentals, a disciplined scholarly approach, to problems of sustainability, energy, and resource uses. Applying thermodynamic thinking to problems of sustainable behavior is a significant advantage in bringing order to ill-defined questions with a great variety of proposed solutions, some of which are more destructive than the original problem. The articles are pitched at a level accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in courses on sustainability, sustainable engineering, industrial ecology, sustainable manufacturing, and green engineering. The timeliness of the topic, and the urgent need for solutions make this book attractive to general readers and specialist researchers as well. Top international figures from many disciplines, including engineers, ecologists, economists, physicists, chemists, policy experts and industrial ecologists among others make up the impressive list of contributors.

Conjugate methods, also sometimes referred to as coupled equations, are used to analyze the inter-dependent relationship of two sets of governing equations--for example in understanding the movement of heat across the boundary from one object to another or the transfer of energy from a moving fluid to a surrounding elastic medium. This will be the first definitive text in years to offer a broad overview of conjugate methods and their more typical applications, with an emphasis on the advantages and benefits of this type of engineering analysis. Students and professionals alike will gain a better understanding of the practical uses for conjugate mathematical methods in solving often intractable problems in heat transfer and fluid mechanics. Ample end of chapter examples and problem sets will help to reinforce the theory and knowledge presented in the book. Some highlights are: Reviews basics of heat conduction in solids and convective heat transfer Offers both analytic and numerical methods for solving conjugate boundary condition problems Numerous detailed examples of applications in industrial problems, biomechanical systems, and other areas of heat transfer and fluid mechanics End of chapter problems and Solutions Manual

This textbook teaches students the principles, materials, and applications they need to understand and analyze heat transfer problems they will encounter in practice. The emphasis on modern practical problems (including thermoelectric cooling), in the numerous examples, sets this work apart from other available works. The approach is to discuss heat transfer problems (in search of innovative and optimal solutions) and the engineering analysis, to motivate fundamental principles and analytical problem solving methods. By introducing heat flux tracking, the students develop intuition about the central role of heat transfer in engineered systems. The energy conversion mechanisms (to and from thermal energy) are integrated into the treatment, thus allowing for realistic design of thermal systems. Note that microscale heat carriers are also covered. Those familiar with the first version of this book from another publisher will notice that this volume is shorter and the generic problem solving engine was replaced by MATLAB software. The rich materials removed from the print version are available on the web site, www.cambridge.org/kaviany. A complete solutions manual for the numerous exercises is available to qualified instructors.

The thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers is a fascinating activity - sometimes even more so than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers - for the simple reason that there are more variables: even the coolant (air) flow rate is a variable. This book will inspire the reader to consider the thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers as a joyous activity rather than a mundane chore.

This is the first book in the new Thermal and Fluid Physics and Engineering series, edited by Professor G. F. Hewitt. This volume, edited by Professor G. P. Celata, explores microchannels. Microchannels have a range of applications, particularly in the context of cooling of electronic equipment. The book fills a void in the existing literature and covers a large body of new knowledge in the thermal-fluid dynamics theory and applications in micro-geometries. The volume also presents a critical assessment of the state-of-the-art in the field. Intended for both academic and industrial audiences.

The twenty-seventh volume of the Thermophysics series is devoted to investigating heat transfer, hydrodynamics and flow mixing in gas-cooled fuel rod assemblies in longitudinal flow with a marked change in geometric characteristics of the cells along the assembly radius. The book presents data of the experimental and theoretical study of local heat transfer and hydrodynamics in assemblies of smooth and rough rods, spaced using honeycomb spacer grids. Alongside assemblies with spacer grids, consideration was given to assemblies with a wire winding. Extensive experimental data made it possible to develop a number of universal calculating procedures and programmes for the analytical cell-by-cell calculation of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in assemblies in longitudinal flow, the calculation of shear stresses at the wetted surfaces of assemblies, and the determination of local resistances of honeycomb spacer grids. The integrated numerical and experimental study of thermohydraulic characteristics provided an explanation of some specific features of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in such complex systems. The information obtained will improve the reliability of operation of various modern gas-cooled heat-transfer devices and will be useful in developing fuel assemblies of new nuclear reactors with various coolants. The monograph incorporates the results of experimental investigations, conducted by the author together with Dr. I. Kolesnikov and Dr. A. Salauskas.

The volumes of Annual Review of Heat Transfer published up to 2005 were edited by Professor Chang-Lin Tien. Chang-Lin had a long-lasting impact on the heat transfer community through his pioneering research. The current editors decided to use Volume XIV as a bridge between the past and the future by summarizing Chang-Lin's contributions and reviewing current and future research directions in areas in which Professor Tien made a significant impact. In this volume, his contributions are divided into six topical areas: radiation and combustion, micro/nanoscale heat transfer, phase change and heat pipes, porous media, materials processing and laser materials interactions, and energy systems. Previous volumes of Annual Review in Heat Transfer all aspects of heat transfer and fluid flow are examined by an array of the top international specialists in the field. Future volumes are being planned to include contemporary achievements in the thermal and fluids sciences.

Heat transfer is the exchange of heat energy between a system and its surrounding environment, which results from a temperature difference and takes place by means of a process of thermal conduction, mechanical convection, or electromagnetic radiation.
