This book presents non-equilibrium thermodynamics and interfacial phenomena associated with vaporization and condensation processes, in addition to fundamentals of heat transfer and fluid flow mechanisms in heat transfer equipment. Topics covered include: thermodynamic and mechanical aspects of interfacial phenomena and phase transitions, interfacial tension, wetting and contact angles, boiling and condensation near immersed bodies, heterogeneous nucleation and bubble growth in liquids, pool boiling, external condensation, internal flow convective boiling and condensation, introduction to two-phase flow, and special topics.
