Heat And Mass Transfer Engineering

Is the heat and mass transfer intensification defined as a new paradigm of process engineering, or is it just a common and old idea, renamed and given the current taste? Where might intensification occur?
How to achieve intensification? How the shape optimization of thermal and fluidic devices leads to intensified heat and mass transfers? To answer these questions, Heat & Mass Transfer Intensification and Shape Optimization: A Multi-scale Approach clarifies the definition of the intensification by highlighting the potential role of the multi-scale structures, the specific interfacial area, the distribution of driving force, the modes of energy supply and the temporal aspects of processes.

Tjis book aims at providing researchers and practitioners with a valuable compendium of significant advances in the field heat and mass transfer - the core science for many industrial processes as well as technical and scientific devices.

This comprehensive textbook provides readers with a firm foundation in the principles of heat and mass transfer and shows them how to solve problems by applying modern methods. The book will be useful not only to upper- and graduate-level students, but also to practicing scientists and engineers.
