E-raamat: Two-Phase Flow: Theory and Applications [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

This text combines theory and applications with regard to a variety of homogenous mixtures, as well as separated liquid-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid flow problems, which may be steady or transient, laminar or turbulent. It is intended for practitioners as well as advanced seniors and graduate students in a broad range of engineering disciplines (mechanical, chemical, biomedical, nuclear, environmental, and aerospace); and those in applied mathematics and classical physics, including aerosol science. The text reviews single-phase fluid dynamics and different approaches to two-phase flow, walks through the derivation of two-phase flow modeling equations, describes numerical solution methods and computer software, and presents case studies of real-world applications. Each chapter features sample problems and solutions. The author is affiliated with the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University, Raleigh.

This graduate text provides a unified treatment of the fundamental principles of two-phase flow and shows how to apply the principles to a variety of homogeneous mixture as well as separated liquid-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid, and gas-liquid flow problems, which may be steady or transient, laminar or turbulent.

Each chapter contains several sample problems, which illustrate the outlined theory and provide approaches to find simplified analytic descriptions of complex two-phase flow phenomena.

This well-balanced introductory text will be suitable for advanced seniors and graduate students in mechanical, chemical, biomedical, nuclear, environmental and aerospace engineering, as well as in applied mathematics and the physical sciences. It will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers and scientists. A solutions manual is available to qualified instructors.
