This is the first book which treats latent transfer comprehensively. It is designed for engineering graduate students who will later be required to work in industrial or environmental settings where latent heat transfer is important. The book provides a fundamental treatment of such topics as boiling, condensation, melting and solidification.

The tubular thermosyphon is a simple idea for transferring heat but its operating details are complex and change dramatically with circumstances. The length and diameter of the tube, the nature and state of the fluid, the strength and variation of the body force all create different operating characteristics. This book deals with these variations.
