This textbook presents a modern treatment of fundamentals of heat
and mass transfer in the context of all types of multiphase flows
with possibility of phase-changes among solid, liquid and vapor. It
serves equally as a textbook for undergraduate senior and graduate
students in a wide variety of engineering disciplines including
mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, material science and
engineering, nuclear engineering, biomedical engineering, and
environmental engineering. Multiphase Heat Transfer and Flow can
also be used to teach contemporary and novel applications of heat
and mass transfer. Concepts are reinforced with numerous examples
and end-of-chapter problems. A solutions manual and PowerPoint
presentation are available to instructors. While the book is
designed for students, it is also very useful for practicing
engineers working in technical areas related to both macro- and
micro-scale systems that emphasize multiphase, multicomponent, and
non-conventional geometries with coupled heat and mass transfer and
phase change, with the possibility of full numerical simulation.
During energy utilization and conversion, thermal energy is either
an intermediate product or a byproduct; that is, thermal transport
plays a critical role on efficiency, reliability, and safety of the
energy systems. Recent development in nanotechnologies enabled
significant improvement of the thermal energy storage performance,
fuel cell, battery and thermoelectric devices. To meet the ever
increasing challenges posed by energy systems, innovative and
transformative measures must be taken to significantly improve the
performance of these devices. Such measures will not be possible
without a thorough understanding of thermal transport at molecular,
nano-and microscale levels because physical phenomena occurring at
the molecular, nano- and microscale will have profound effects on
the performance at the system level. Understanding of multiscale
thermal transport in the energy system is essential to improve
their performance.
This book presents new research related to femtosecond laser
ablation, coherent control, electronic and thermal processes,
colouring, nanoscale heat transfer, and corneal refractive surgery.
With laser-pulse durations of one quadrillionth of a second,
femtosecond lasers are poised to change the way research is done in
a variety of disciplines in science, engineering and medicine. The
ability to remove material with minimal collateral damage may be
the most striking feature that has not been matched by any other
material processing technologies. With the processing power carried
by each pulse entering pettawatts (1015 W) in less than 100
femtoseconds, femtosecond lasers can remove virtually any type of
material in a few picoseconds while confining the process zone to
within tens of nanometers. The result is clean cuts, strong welds,
and precision destruction of small targets such as cancer cells
with no injury to surrounding materials.
This book presents current research related to the synthesis,
characterisation, and heat transfer of nanofluids. Nanofluids are
stable colloidal suspensions of solid nanomaterials in base fluids.
While nanoparticles were first added to base fluids to obtain
nanofluids; other nanomaterials, like nanorods, nanotubes,
nanowires, nanofibers, nanosheets, or other nanocomposites, are
used to synthesise the nanofluids. The types of base fluids cover a
wide range of liquids that include water, oil, ethylene-glycol
(automotive antifreeze), refrigerants, polymer solutions, or even
bio-fluids. The special properties of nanomaterials and their
interactions with base fluids lead to substantially different
properties of nanofluids compared with that of base fluids.
Significant physical insights into complex physical phenomena in
nanofluids are gained via the utilisation of advanced theoretical
tools and state-of-the-art experimental measurement techniques.
