TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of flow and heat transfer in conventional and miniature systems is provided, providing a comprehensive review of single-phase flow fundamentals and interfacial phenomena, detailed and clear discussion is provided on a range of topics, including two-phase hydrodynamics and flow regimes, mathematical modeling of gas-liquid 2-phase flows, pool and flow boiling, flow and boiling in mini and microchannels, external and internal-flow condensation with and without noncondensables, condensation in small flow passages, and two-
Abstract: Providing a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals and applications of flow and heat transfer in conventional and miniature systems, this fully enhanced and updated edition covers all the topics essential for graduate courses on two-phase flow, boiling, and condensation. Beginning with a concise review of single-phase flow fundamentals and interfacial phenomena, detailed and clear discussion is provided on a range of topics, including two-phase hydrodynamics and flow regimes, mathematical modeling of gas-liquid two-phase flows, pool and flow boiling, flow and boiling in mini and microchannels, external and internal-flow condensation with and without noncondensables, condensation in small flow passages, and two-phase choked flow. Numerous solved examples and end-of-chapter problems that include many common design problems likely to be encountered by students, make this an essential text for graduate students. With up-to-date detail on the most recent research trends and practical applications, it is also an ideal reference for professionals and researchers in mechanical, nuclear, and chemical engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of Coriolis force, centrifugal force, and thermal buoyancy force on an air-filled, differentially heated enclosure of square cross section, with the enclosure rotated about its horizontal axis, are classified numerically.
Abstract: The effects of Coriolis force, centrifugal force, and thermal buoyancy force are segregated numerically on an air-filled, differentially heated enclosure of square cross section, with the enclosure rotated about its horizontal axis. The physically realizable periodic oscillation solutions are identified with reported experimental results of six temperature fields. The evolution of the flow pattern in the natural-convection flow fields are studied from stationary to increasing rotation of the enclosure. The effects of Coriolis force and centrifugal force on the natural convection are small and are differentiated from those of other forces.
