MNE 545 - Transfer with Phase Change

3 credits
Lecture
Prerequisite(s): MNE 411, MNE 332, MNE 220. Fundamentals of heat transfer in fluid flows undergoing phase change. Thermodynamic equilibrium and stability during boiling/condensation is taught. Nucleation and bubble growth in homogeneous and heterogeneous regimes are presented. Distinct flow patterns and heat transfer characteristics in two-phase, boiling flows are discussed. Heat transfer in pool boiling and condensation is presented. Liquid-solid phase change is taught at an introductory level.
