Beskrivning

In this book, the author focuses on the physics behind dew, breaths figures, and dropwise condensation phenomena to introduce scientists, engineers and students to the many original processes involved in condensation. Although the content mainly deals with condensation from humid air, it can readily be generalized to condensation of any substance.
