The thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers is a fascinating activity--sometimes even more so than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers--for the simple reason that there are more variables: even the coolant (air) flow rate is a variable! This book will have served its pur…
The main goal of the book is generalization of the existing knowledges of the wavy flow of falling thin liquid films and transfer processes in wave regimes. The methods of local measurements of hydrodynamic parameters have been analyzed. The theoretical models of wave motion tak…
Dear Readers, Your attention is invited to a textbook intended for bachelors, masters, postgraduates, students of petroleum secondary schools, specialists in the field of oil refining and petrochemicals, scientists working at universities and research institutes. A textbook of t…
These proceedings of the third Japan-U.S. Seminar on Two-Phase Flow Dynamics, held in Ohtsu, Japan in July 1988, feature a broad review of the status of research relating to two-phase flow dynamics both with and without phase change. The papers cover fundamental equations and cl…
The results presented in this book could be of interest to readers from two aspects. Firstly, the possibility of significant expansion of the number of problems allowing the construction of full analytical representations for sound fields in the areas of complex shape was shown.…
This edited volume comprises of research articles primarily resulting from the recent workshop of US-China Workshop on Analytics for Building-Scale Sustainable Ecosystems, sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), and held in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. A g…
This book is another in a series of works by the author dealing with studies, representation, and methods of calculation of physicochemical properties of binary and multicomponent electrolyte solutions. A vast amount of data is presented here that will be invaluable to scientifi…
