ABSTRACT
Heat transfer in two-phase flows involving gas and liquid phases is characterized by the presence of a moving and deforming phase interface. In this chapter, we will consider the fundamental physical processes in gas/liquid flows, as well as a variety of modeling and solution techniques, including analysis of boiling and condensation heat transfer. Many engineering technologies involve boiling and condensation. Examples include boiler operation in a power plant, nuclear reactors, evaporator performance in refrigeration systems, quenching in materials processing, and condensers in power and refrigeration systems.
