Recent Advances in Heat Transfer: Proceedings of the First Baltic Heat Transfer Conference, Goteborg, Sweden, August 26-28, 1991 (Transport Processes in Engineering)

Heat transfer plays an important role in almost every field of engineering. Presented here is a unique collection of papers on experimental, theoretical and numerical investigations of fundamental and applied features in the fields of boiling, evaporation and two-phase flow, cooling of electronics, heat transport affected by electromagnetic fields, and thermal radiation. Fundamental studies focusing on understanding the mechanisms of heat transfer processes as well as valuable results and formulas for engineering design are provided. The book will serve as a valuable source of data and of recent progress in the understanding and prediction of various heat transfer phenomena. Since it not only presents a novel collection of qualified works in established fields but also in topics not commonly studied, it will be of value to researchers, engineers and those involved in mechanical, chemical and nuclear engineering.
