Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change … Wikipedia
Heat transfer coefficient — The heat transfer coefficient, in thermodynamics and in mechanical and chemical engineering, is used in calculating the heat transfer, typically by convection or phase change between a fluid and a solid::Delta Q=h cdot A cdot Delta T cdot Delta… … Wikipedia
Two-phase flow — In fluid mechanics, two phase flow occurs in a system containing gas and liquid with a meniscus separating the two phases. Historically, probably the most commonly studied cases of two phase flow are in large scale power systems. Coal and gas… … Wikipedia

Loop heat pipe — A loop heat pipe (LHP) is a two phase heat transfer device that uses capillary action to remove heat from a source and passively move it to a condenser or radiator. LHPs are similar to heat pipes but have the advantage of being able provide… … Wikipedia
