Introduction to liquid-vapor phase change

This course is an elementary course on liquid vapor phase change; pertaining to systems involving evaporation and boiling. The first part of the course will provide a synopsis of basic governing equations in fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The second part deals with introduction to phase change (phase stability, types of nucleation, and interfacial instabilities). The third part of the course is focused on physical aspects such as pool boiling, Leidenfrost effect.
