Starting in Portsmouth in 1988, Heat Transfer XIV: Simulation and Experiments in Heat Transfer and its Applications contains the proceedings of the fourteenth conference in the well-established series on Simulation and Experiments in Heat Transfer and its applications. Heat Transfer might be considered as an established and mature scientific discipline, but it has played a major role in new emerging areas such as sustainable development and reduction of greenhouse gases as well as for micro- and nano- scale structures and bioengineering. Tremendous advances have been achieved during recent years due to improved numerical solution methods for non-linear partial differential equations, turbulence modelling advancements and developments of computers and computing algorithms to achieve efficient and rapid simulations. The papers contained in this book present studies on advanced topics, new approaches and applications of innovative advanced computational methods and experimental measurements to heat and mass transfer problems. Further progress in computational methods requires developments in theoretical and predictive procedures and in applied research. The following list covers some of the topics presented: Energy conversion devices; Heat transfer enhancements; Heat exchanges; Natural and forced convection; Radiation; Multiphase flow heat transfer; Modelling and simulation; Heat recovery; Heat and mass transfer problems; Heat transfer in nature; Renewable energy systems; Biotechnology; Thermal electric devices and High temperature heat transfer.

Advances in Heat Transfer is designed to fill the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than is allowable in either journals or texts.

Completely updated, this graduate text describes the current state of boiling heat transfer and two-phase flow, in terms through which students can attain a consistent understanding. Prediction of real or potential boiling heat transfer behaviour, both in steady and transient states, is covered to aid engineering design of reliable and effective systems.

Transform methods provide a bridge between the commonly used method of separation of variables and numerical techniques for solving linear partial differential equations. While in some ways similar to separation of variables, transform methods can be effective for a wider class of problems. Even when the inverse of the transform cannot be found ana
