ABSTRACT

The papers presented to the Section Two-Phase Flows of the Second National Russian Conference on Heat Transfer (RNKT-2) held at the Power Engineering Institute, Moscow in October 1998 have been reviewed. The papers presented to this Section cover a large scope of the problems including nonstationary hydraulic thermal processes during pulsed heat transfer in a wall, the interaction between a heated surface and a cold liquid, two-phase flows at thermal nonequilibrium, critical flows of adiabatic two-phase media in nozzles and channels; nonisothermal mixing of gas-droplet jets with a gas flow, heat and mass transfer in two-phase binary systems and channels of complicated shapes, and the experimental methods for studying two-phase flow patterns. Some presentations were devoted to the analysis of processes occurring in two-phase media in various technical devices. As usual, the references to the published books and articles in the text are given in square brackets, whereas the ordinal numbers of the papers reviewed are given in vertical lines.
