Convective heat tranfer is the result of fluid flowing between objects ofdifferent temperatures. Thus it may be the objective of a process as inrefrigeration or it may be an incidental aspect of other processes. Thismonograph reviews in a concise and unified manner recent contributions to theprinciples of convective heat transfer for single and multiphase systems Itsummarizes the role of the fundamental mechanism discusses the governingdifferential equations describes approximation schemes and phenomenologicalmodels and examines their solutions and applications. After a review of thebasic physics and thermodynamics the book divides the subject into threeparts. Part 1 deals with singlemedium transfer specifically with intraphasetransfers in singlephase flows and with intramedium transfers in twophaseflows. Part 2 deals with fluidsolid transfer processes both in cases wherethe interface is small and in cases where it is large as well as liquidliquidtransfer processes. Part 3 considers three media addressing both liquidsolidsolid and gasliquidsolid systems. TOCIntroduction. SinglePhase Flow FluidMechanics. Conduction Heat Transfer. Convection Heat Transfer.
