NUCE 744 Interfacial Transport and Phase Change Heat Transfer
This course aims to present insightful understanding of interfacial
transport, phase-change and multiphase flow phenomena in
nature, power, energy, manufacturing, desalination and chemical
processes. It covers different levels of principles, from
fundamental gas kinetics, microfluidics, interfacial tension,
surface wettability, solid-fluid adhesion and phase transition, to
interfacial liquid-vapor transport dynamics, to nucleation,
evaporation, pool/flow boiling, condensation, deposition, melting
and solidification characteristics, and to phase changes of fluids
in porous media and instability analysis of multiphase flows.
Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experiments are
used together to probe complicated multiphase thermal-fluid
physics. Advanced lab characterization tools are introduced to
engage academic thermal-fluid research with knowledge
discovery and innovation in energy, power and water industries
