Thus in turbulent flow, the dispersion coefficient is independent of the diffusion coefficient, but in laminar flow, the dispersion coefficient depends inversely on the diffusion coefficient. This counterintuitive inverse dependence, the result of axial convection coupled with radial diffusion, is the foundation of the Goulay equation describing peak spreading in chromatography. We now return from this dispersion tangent back to diffusion and in particular, to mass transfer. 

Convective heat transfer has become a subject of very wide extent and the selection of material for inclusion in a book of the present type requires careful consideration. In this book, heat transfer during boiling and solidification have not been considered. This is not in any way meant to suggest that these topics are of lesser importance than those included in the book. Rather, it is felt that the student needs a good grounding in the topics covered in the present book before approaching the analysis of heat transfer with boiling and solidification. The book thus lays the foundation for more advanced courses on specialized aspects of convective heat transfer. 

The basic aim of the book is to present a discussion of some currently available methods for predicting convective heat transfer rates. The main emphasis is, therefore, on the prediction of heat transfer rates rather than on the presentation of large amounts of experimental data. Attention is given to both analytical and numerical methods of analysis. Another aim of the book is to present a thorough discussion of the foundations of the subject in a clear, easy to follow, student-oriented style. 

This section describes various strategies for the immobilization of macrocycles on electrode surfaces and their characterization by both electrochemical and in situ spectroscopic techniques in solutions devoid of dioxygen. It also provides theoretical foundations involved in the analysis of the mechanisms of oxygen reduction at such interfaces based on measurements performed under forced convection. Studies involving a number of carefully selected phthalocyanines, and porphyrins, will be presented and discussed, which in our view best illustrate the nuances of the rich behavior this class of adsorbed electrocatalysts can exhibit. These examples serve to... 

The foundations of an engineering discipline may be best understood by considering the place of that discipline in relation to other engineering disciplines. Therefore, our first concern in this chapter will be to determine the place of heat transfer among engineering disciplines. Next, we shall proceed to a review of the general principles needed for heat transfer. Finally, we shall discuss the three modes of heat transfer— conduction, convection, and radiation—and introduce a five-step methodology for an inductive formulation. 

The temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for liquids, metal alloys, and nonconducting solids is more complicated than those mentioned above. Because of these complexities, the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity for a number of materials, as illustrated in Fig. 1,11, does not show a uniform trend. Typical ranges for the thermal conductivity of these materials are given in Table 1.1, We now proceed to a discussion of the foundations of convective and radiative heat transfer. 

In Chapter 5, we learned the foundations of convection. Integrating the governing equations for laminar boundary layers, we obtained expressions for the heat transfer associated with forced convection over a horizontal plate and natural convection about a vertical plate. We also found analytically, as well as by the analogy between heat and momentum, that the thermal and momentum characteristics of laminar flow over a flat plate are related by... 

In connection with the development of the theory of convective diffusion in liquids the foundation of the theory of diffusion boundary layers and dynamic adsorption layers are given by Levich (1962) in his works on physico-chemical hydrodynamics. A variety of problems of convective diffusion in liquids was solved which are of essential interest for the description of different heterogeneous processes in liquids the rate of which is limited by diffusion kinetics. In connection with the objectives of the present chapter, only a general approach to problems of diffusion boundary layers and their concrete results (Levich 1962) are reported. These are of direct interest for the theory of dynamic adsorption layers of bubble. 

The thin-layer approximation fails because natural convective boundary layers are not thin. From the interferometric fringes in Fig. 4.2ft (which are essentially isotherms), the thermal boundary layer around a circular cylinder is seen to be nearly 30 percent of the cylinder diameter. For such thick boundary layers, curvature effects are important. Despite this failure, thin-layer solutions provide an important foundation for the development of correlation equations, as explained in the section on heat transfer correlation method.
