MEEN 744 Interfacial Transport and Phase Change Heat Transfer

This course aims to present an insightful understanding of phase-change and multiphase flow phenomena in nature, power, and energy industries. It covers different levels of principles, from fundamental gas kinetics, liquid-vapor interfacial behavior, to interfacial liquid-vapor transport dynamics, to evaporation and condensation characteristics, and to transient analysis of thermal-fluid processes. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experiments are used together to probe complicated multiphase thermal-fluid physics. Advanced lab characterization tools are introduced to engage state-of-the-art thermal-fluid research with knowledge discovery and innovation in power and energy sectors.
