Product Description: Condensation takes place in many fields where heat transfer processes involving phase change occur. These include refrigeration plants, sugar-refinery evaporators and air conditioning systems. Enhancement of condensation is important when thermal resistance on the condensation side is commensurate to or greater than the thermal resistance of the heat transfer wall and on the cooling side...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The centre-piece of this book is an English translation of the Leiden thesis of 1873 of J.D. van der Waals, of which the original version must be the most cited and least read of any thesis in physical science. In an introductory essay the editor has put this work in the context of its time and explained why it is still of value to physicists and chemists working in statistical mechanics, on phase transitions and on the properties of liquids...read more

Product Description: This advanced textbook for courses covering heat transfer with phase change, was developed based on the author's wide experience of teaching courses on the subject. In his comprehensive treatment, Carey offers, through illustrative examples and problems, a presentation of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and interfacial phenomena associated with vaporization and condensation processes, in addition to fundamentals of heat tranfer and fluid flow mechanisms...read more

Uses simple observations and experiments to explore how various materials are changed by such processes as heating, wetting, and stirring

Product Description: This much-cited thesis by J. D. van der Waals, the recipient of the 1910 Nobel Prize in physics, is accompanied by an introductory essay by J. S. Rowlinson and another work by van der Waals on the theory of liquid mixtures. 1988 edition.
