Chapter 7 **Effectiveness of a Helix Tube to Water Cool a Battery Module 127** Desmond Adair, Kairat Ismailov and Zhumabay Bakenov

Preface

Heat and mass transfer is one of the most important engineering disciplines. An under‐ standing of the transport processes from mass, momentum and energy perspectives is indis‐ pensable to effective and efficient application of a number of technologies related to energy, materials, food processing, manufacturing and chemical processes. Heat and mass transfer research areas are increasingly linked with microfluidics and nanofluid, leading to new challenges and opportunities. New developments in heat and mass transfer enhancement techniques and computational methods have been proposed recently. This book focuses on the latest advances in applying fundamental heat and mass transfer theory, using experi‐ ments or novel mathematical and CFD modelling technologies to address a wide range of practical engineering problems of interest, including bubbly flow in column reactors, Cas‐ son nanofluid, hydrate dissociation in porous media, surface tension effect on water vapor absorption, battery thermal management, mass transfer in extractive distillation, molten pool behavior for submerged arc welding process, as well as the characterization of struc‐ ture and property factors when designing a plate heat exchanger. The presented interesting

results and findings in the book are closely related to industrial applications.

new and exciting technologies for future demands.

We sincerely hope that the readers will enjoy the seven chapters in this book, which will contribute to advancing our understanding of heat and mass transfer processes to develop
