This course mainly deals with four parts of the subject:
(a) concept of two-phase phenomena,
(b) two-phase fluid mechanics,
(c) two-phase heat transfer and
(d) special topics of two-phase transport phenomena.
The first part starts with a review of two-phase research history and an introduction to two-phase parameters and terminology. Fundamental concepts of two-phase modeling and phase configurations, such as flow patterns, will also be introduced. The second part of the course stretches into two-phase flow modeling, The third part of the course extends to the heat transfer models with phase changes including natural/forced convective boiling, critical and post-critical heat transfer and condensation. In the meantime, the course will introduce some important two-phase phenomena such as counter-current flow, critical flow, etc. Students are requested to carry out a term-project within a topic of their interest that can demonstrate their understanding of the subject.
