  • More about Single- and Two-Phase Flow Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer in Tubes


The book provides design engineers with an elemental understanding of pressure drop and heat transfer in plain and micro-fin tubes to thermal systems using liquid single-phase flow in different industrial applications. It also provides design engineers with the necessary fundamentals of two-phase flow variables.

Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG


The book is a comprehensive resource for design engineers seeking to gain a fundamental understanding of the factors that influence pressure drop and heat transfer in plain and micro-fin tubes used in thermal systems involving liquid single-phase flow across various industrial applications. It also serves as a valuable guide for design engineers working with gas-liquid two-phase flow in different industrial settings, providing them with the essential fundamentals of two-phase flow variables. Notably, the author and his colleagues made groundbreaking discoveries by experimentally determining the crucial relationship between inlet geometry and transition, which has profound implications for thermal systems design. Based on their findings, they developed practical and user-friendly correlations for the isothermal and non-isothermal friction factor (pressure drop) and heat transfer coefficient (Nusselt number) in the transition region, as well as the laminar and turbulent flow regions for different inlet configurations and fin geometry.

This groundbreaking work, presented herein, equips thermal systems design engineers with the necessary design tools to optimize their designs. Furthermore, the author offers a concise review of flow patterns, void fraction, pressure drop, and non-boiling heat transfer phenomena, highlighting key modeling techniques that have been extensively scrutinized in the field. By delving into these aspects, the book provides a comprehensive foundation for design engineers to excel in their field and contribute to the advancement of thermal systems technology.
