Solid—Fluid Systems with Simple, Continuous Interface

Abstract

When the ass um pt ion of local thermal equilibrium between the solid and the fluid is not valid, Le., when the main heat transfer is between the two adjacent phases, the two-medium treatment of the heat transfer is needed. In this chapter interfacial geometries that are simple and continuous (as compared to discrete, which is discussed in Chapter 5), such as planar and curved surfaces, are considered. M.
