This second edition provides reliable information in predicting the thermal hydraulic behavior of boiling devices and two-phase flow. It contains formulas for predicting real or potential boiling heat transfer behavior. Emphasis is on applications to high heat flux equipment, such as nuclear reactors, and they are presented throughout the book.

Colonel Barnett compares the next 15 years to the 15 years between World Wars I and II. He concludes that the changes between the two world wars may be dwarfed by those occurring within the next decade and one-half. He envisions possible wars with niche competitors and peer competitors, giving theoretical scenarios of each.
