Physics of Gas Liquid Flows

The purpose of this book is to present recent research efforts to understand and characterize swirling flows of different types and in different applications. These include gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels in order to enhance combustion systems and their energy efficiency. Swirl flows are very complex and the studies proposed in this project are based on different means, including theoretical calculations, numerical modeling, and experimental measurements

This thesis represents the first systematic description of the two-phase flow problem. Two-phase flows of volatile fluids in confined geometries driven by an applied temperature gradient play an important role in a range of applications, including thermal management, such as heat pipes, thermosyphons, capillary pumped loops and other evaporative cooling devices.

This book is a collection of current research in the heat transfer areas and discusses experimental, theoretical and calculation approaches and industrial utilizations with modern ideas and methods to study heat transfer for single and multiphase systems. The combination of theoretical and experimental investigations with many important practical applications of current interest will make this book of interest to researchers, scientists, engineers and graduate students.

These two volumes incorporate a systematic approach to two-phase flow analysis. Two-phase flow and heat transfer problems associated with two-phase phenomena have been a challenge; the specific aspects of the subject were treated.

The book treats the problem of single- and two-phase heat transfer in micro-channels. In the book authors use results on a number of problems related to flow and heat transfer, as well as those of numerous theoretical and experimental investigations published in current literature.
