Heat Transfer in Condensation and Boiling

Karl Stephan

This book covers the physical phenomena and the different technical applications of heat transfer in condensation and boiling. The book is divided into two separate and comprehensive sections. Each section begins with a description of the basic physical phenomena, models and theories. Heat transfer problems are then discussed for a wide range of applications. The book provides an overview of the state of the art and points out possible improvements and open questions. The subject is treated at a level appropriate for graduate courses.
