OverviewThis book is the first comprehensive work on latent heat transfer. It covers all forms of latent heat: evaporation, sublimation, melting, condensation, freezing, and deposition. It has been designed to provide both insight and example for junior engineering graduate students. The three preparatory chapters, on history and significance, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics, are followed by self-contained treatments of solidification (and fluidification), condensation, and evaporation (including boiling). Direct contact latent heat transfer is covered separately. The final chapter is devoted exclusively to worked examples. Emphasis throughout is placed on fundamentals which apply equally to industrial and environmental situations. Full Product DetailsAuthor: G. S. H.
