2nd Edition. CRC, 1997. 572 p. ISBN:1560324856
This second edition provides reliable information in predicting the thermal hydraulic behavior of boiling devices and two-phase flow. It contains formulas for predicting real or potential boiling heat transfer behavior. Emphasis is on applications to high heat flux equipment, such as nuclear reactors, and they are presented throughout the book. Completely updated, this graduate text describes the current state of boiling heat transfer and two-phase flow, in terms through which students can attain a consistent understanding. Prediction of real or potential boiling heat transfer behaviour, both in steady and transient states, is covered to aid engineering design of reliable and effective systems.
Introduction
Pool boiling
Hydrodynamics of two-phase flow
Flow boiling
Flow boiling crisis
Instability of two-phase flow
