Heat transfer enhancement in single-phase and two-phase flow heat
exchangers in important in such industrial applications as power
generating plant, process and chemical industry, heating,
ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and the
cooling of electronic equipment. Energy savings are of primary
importance in the design of such systems, leading to more
efficient, environmentally friendly devices. This book provides
invaluable information for such purposes.
Until very recently, energy supply of the world has been treated as
being nearly inexhaustible. Nowadays about 90 percent of the energy
used is obtained from non-renewable resources: oil, natural gas,
coal and uranium. These resources are being used up at an alarming
rate. To meet our demands we are now searching for new sources of
energy. One of these new sources of energy is solar energy which
will assume increasing importance. It is free but means must be
developed to use it economically. Research is actively under way to
reduce the storage cost of this low intensity energy and for the
design of economical systems. The purpose of this Institute is to
provide an international forum for the dissemination of information
on solar energy utilization: fundamentals and applications in
industry. This meeting is primarily a high level teaching activity.
The subject is treated in considerable depth by lecturers eminent
in their field. The other participants include scientists,
engineers, and senior graduate students who themselves are involved
in a similar research and who wish to learn more about current
developments, as well as scientists from other areas who are
planning to research on solar energy. The lectures are supplemented
by informal discussions designed to encourage the free and critical
exchange of ideas. A limited number of contributions are also
included. This volume contains both basic and applied information
contributed during the Institute. The editors appreciate the
cooperation of Martinus Nijhoff Publishezsin making the proceedings
widely available.
