This volume investigates the fundamental mechanisms and emerging experimental data concerning heat and mass transfer processes in industrial and physical systems. Editors E. Hahne and U. Grigull compile a series of technical papers that examine the mathematical modeling of thermal conductivity, convective heat transfer, and phase change phenomena. The text serves as a repository for research findings intended to refine the predictive capabilities of engineers and physicists working in thermal sciences.

Experts recognize this volume as a foundational collection of specialized research papers from the early 1970s. Readers frequently note the high technical density of the prose, which assumes a significant background in advanced calculus and thermodynamics.
