The aim of the two–set series is to present a very detailed and up–to–date reference for researchers and practicing engineers in the fields of mechanical, refrigeration, chemical, nuclear and electronics engineering on the important topic of two-phase heat transfer and two-phase flow. The scope of the first set of 4 volumes presents the fundamentals of the two-phase flows and heat transfer mechanisms, and describes in detail the most important prediction methods, while the scope of the second set of 4 volumes presents numerous special topics and numerous applications, also including numerical simulation methods.
Practicing engineers will find extensive coverage to applications involving: multi-microchannel evaporator cold plates for electronics cooling, boiling on enhanced tubes and tube bundles, flow pattern based methods for predicting boiling and condensation inside horizontal tubes, pressure drop methods for singularies (U-bends and contractions), boiling in multiport tubes, and boiling and condensation in plate heat exchangers. All of these chapters include the latest methods for predicting not only local heat transfer coefficients but also pressure drops.
Professors and students will find this "Encyclopedia of Two-Phase Heat Transfer and Flow" particularly exciting, as it contains authored books and thorough state-of-the-art reviews on many basic and special topics, such as numerical modeling of two-phase heat transfer and adiabatic bubbly and slug flows, the unified annular flow boiling model, flow pattern maps, condensation and boiling theories, new emerging topics, etc.

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.

Jungho Kim is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the University of Maryland where he performs research and teaches courses in a broad range of thermal sciences areas. He developed the microheater array technique under NASA sponsorship to measure time and space resolved heat transfer rates during boiling, spray cooling, and within microchannels, and this became the basis of an International Space Station experiment (MABE) that was used to study microgravity pool boiling in 2011. He has recently developed another technique to measure the heat transfer distribution within complex geometries using IR thermography. He has won numerous awards for teaching and instrumentation design, and is the holder of two patents.
