Convective Heat and Mass Transfer

S. Mostafa Ghiaasiaan is a professor in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. After earning a PhD in thermal science from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1983, he worked in the aerospace industry for eight years, conducting research and development activity on modeling and simulation of transport processes, multiphase flow, and thermal–hydraulic aspects of nuclear power. He joined the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1991. Prof. Ghiaasiaan has written more than 240 publications on transport phenomena, multiphase flow, cryogenics and the science and technology of cryocoolers. He is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and a registered professional mechanical engineer in California, and a member of American Nuclear Society and Cryogenics Society of America. He is also the author of another widely-used graduate textbook on two-phase flow, boiling and condensation.
