"Considerable progress has been made in the field of boiling and condensation in the last ten years. Handbook of Phase Change provides up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of the basic phenomena followed by specific recommendations for design equations and correlations. The authors have attempted to focus on the mechanistic models, rather than empirical treatment in making their recommendations. Ease of use was also a major factor."--BOOK JACKET. "The handbook is a sourcebook for researchers, applications engineers, and equipment designers, as well as a textbook suitable for advanced courses in boiling and condensation fundamentals. The handbook is also suitable for conducting short courses in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
