Advances in Boiling and Condensation provides a comprehensive overview of boiling and condensation, which are two types of convection heat transfer with phase change. Written by experts in the field, the book includes five chapters that address such topics as nucleate pool boiling and flow boiling, heat transfer and hydraulic resistance in fuel bundles of nuclear-power reactors, boiling heat-transfer enhancement with graphene-based functional coatings, water hammer in two-phase systems, and heat transfer during condensation.
