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.

The present article reports on the research work carried out within the framework of the European project DISTOR. The objective is to conceive, analyze and test systems of storage of thermal energy of the type PCM (phase change materials) adapted to DSG (direct steam generation) technology for electricity production. A detailed model of heat transfer and fluid flow has been reported for numerical simulation of latent heat storage unit which takes into account the solid/liquid and water/vapour phase change processes occurring simultaneously in the PCM and heat transfer fluid with appropriate coupling between them. Reasonable and justified assumptions are then proposed in order to define the most significant process controlling parameters and derive a useful simplified model. Design and optimization procedure have been advised based on the present detailed and simplified models. The influences of various parameters on the operation of the system as well as the potential of new PCM composites are studied.
