Convective heat transfer is the result of fluid flowing between objects of different temperatures. This graduate-level text reviews in a concise and unified manner recent contributions to the principles of convective heat transfer for single and multi-phase systems, concentrating on the latter. The emphasis on multiple phases and on energy-conversion mechanisms, such as phase changes or chemical reactions, will make this text a valuable reference for practicing engineers.
