Course desc<x>ription:
<br>This course focuses on heat and fluid transport phenomena associated with 
<br>phase change processes. Topics include thermodynamics of phase change, 
<br>evaporation, condensation, nucleation and bubble growth, two phase flow, 
<br>convective boiling and condensation, melting and solidification.
