ABSTRACT

Under the new publisher of Begell House, Inc., the serial publication Annual Review of Heat Transfer continues to fulfill its original objective of providing improved communication on new, important developments in the general field of heat transfer. The previous volumes have clearly established the fine tradition that each chapter in the Annual Review deals with a significant, emerging topic by starting with fundamental physical considerations and then proceeding in a logical fashion to the forefront of recent developments and future challenges. The contributing authors are either young but upcoming or well-established leaders in these emerging fields.
A list of the topics covered in the past two volumes illustrates well this special characteristic of the Annual Review. Volume 3 considered such topics as biological freezing, binary vapor condensation, film condensation interface, high-T_c superconductors, multiphase transport in porous media, convection in packed beds and granular flow, microscales of turbulence, and scaling and asymptotic analysis in convection. Volume 4 presented discussions on chaos, fractal analysis, thermal shock in solids, thermal processing of materials, species-controlled condensation, heterogeneous propellant combustion, mixing of vaporizing droplet sprays, and fouling heat transfer.
Following this distinctive character, the present volume contains excellent chapters on significant, wide-ranging heat transfer topics including supercomputing, thin film laser processing, Monte Carlo methods, unsteady heat convection across obstruction, thermally induced flow effects, partially saturated permeable surfaces, boiling in porous media, impacting sprays, and mist cooling for air heat exchangers.
The editor wishes to express his deep gratitude to the participating authors for their outstanding contributions, to the new publisher for providing excellent editorial assistance, and to the heat transfer community for its continuing support and input.
