Download or read book Two-phase Flow and Heat Transfer written by P. B. Whalley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and well illustrated book is intended for students of chemical and mechanical engineering. It is concerned exclusively with gas-liquid flows. The first part deals with adiabatic flows, that is, flows without the addition or removal of heat. The second part deals with heat-transfer in two-phase flows: boiling and condensation. The various types of heat transfer are identified and methods to calculate them given. Two-phase flow and heat transfer are commonly encountered in heat exchangers (distillation and condensation) and in pipelines, and are therefore fundamental to many industrial chemistry processes.
