Set III of this encyclopedia is a new addition to the previous Sets I and II. It contains 26 invited chapters from international specialists on the topics of numerical modeling of two-phase flows and evaporation, fundamentals of evaporation and condensation in microchannels and macrochannels, development and testing of micro two-phase cooling systems for electronics, and various special topics (surface wetting effects, microfin tubes, two-phase flow vibration across tube bundles). The chapters are written both by renowned university researchers and by well-known engineers from leading corporate research laboratories. Numerous "must read" chapters cover the fundamentals of research and engineering practice on boiling, condensation and two-phase flows, two-phase heat transfer equipment, electronics cooling systems, case studies and so forth. Set III constitutes a "must have" reference together with Sets I and II for thermal engineering researchers and practitioners.

John R Thome is Professor of Heat and Mass Transfer at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland since 1998, where he directs the two-phase flow and heat transfer research laboratory (LTCM) with 20 some post-docs and PhD students, see http://ltcm.epfl.ch/. His work focuses on visual investigations of the fundamental phenomena of microchannel two-phase flows (in channels as small as 85 microns), new experimental and image processing techniques for microscale two-phase flows, mechanistic two-phase flow pattern based heat transfer and pressure drop models for macroscale evaporating and condensing flows, plate and multiport tube heat exchangers, computerized flow control of two-phase microcooling systems, the development of multi-microchannel evaporators for electronics cooling with up to 1200 parallel microchannels, enhanced boiling and condensation, and the numerical modeling of two-phase phenomena. He received his PhD at Oxford University, England in 1978.
