The book focuses on basic elements of condensation and vaporization processes. The basic physical mechanisms associated with a particular phase-change phenomenon are described in detail, followed by a representative sample of the best models applicable to the circumstances of interest. Throughout the text, the importance of the basic phenomena to a wide variety of applications is discussed. Booknews The subtitle is An introduction to the thermophysics of vaporization and condensation processes in heat transfer equipment. A graduate- level text providing a coherent presentation of the subject for mechanical or chemical engineers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
