The book describes results of investigations of a series of convective heat and mass transfer problems in rotating-disk systems, namely, over free rotatingdisks, under conditions of transient heat transfer, solid- body rotation of fluid, orthogonal flow impingement onto a disk, swirl radial flow between parallel co-rotating disks, in cone-disk systems and for Prandtl and Schmidt numbers larger than unity. Methodology used included integral methods, self-similar and approximate analytical solutions, as well as CFD. The book is aimed at theprofessional audience of academic researchers, industrial R&D engineers, university lecturers and graduate/postgraduate students working in the area ofrotating-disk systems. Provides the theoretical basics and experimental proofs for the theory Useful reference for research engineers and graduate students INDICE: Preface.- General characteristic of rotating-disk systems.- Modelling of fluid flow and heat transfer in rotating-disk systems.- Free rotating disk.- Unsteady laminar heat transfer of a free rotating disk.- External flow imposed over a rotating disk.- Outward underswirled and overswirled radial flowbetween parallel co-rotating disks.- Laminar fluid flow and heat transfer in a gap between a disk and a cone that touches the disk with its apex.- Heat andmass transfer of a free rotating disk for the Prandtl and Schmidt numbers larger than unity.
