Preface

This book aims at providing researchers and practitioners with a valuable compendium of the latest significant advances in the field of heat and mass transfer. The book covers a set of topics of particular interest ranging from heat transfer in power generation to heat and mass transfer in new and emerging technologies. The book comprises 19 chapters arranged in eight sections, which include: Introduction, Heat Transfer in Industrial Processes, Heat Transfer in Power Generation, Heat and Mass Transfer in New and Emerging Technologies, Multi-phase Flows and Phase Change, Thermodynamics and Thermophysical Properties, Mass Transfer Processes and Theoretical Approaches for Heat Transfer Problems. Several chapters within the book include theoretical and numerical modeling and simulation developments, which are increasingly contributing to the current state of the art in heat and mass

This book has been possible thanks to the outstanding contributions of many scientists, researchers, and engineers in the field of heat and mass transfer, and also the exceptional work of the professionals at IntechOpen. All contributions are sincerely

I sincerely believe that the content of the book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and graduate students within the many disciplines and applications
