Abstract
The transfer of heat between immiscible phases occurs in many steps of the typical chemical process. Many of the occurrences result simply from the contacting of phases having different temperatures and are handled by energy balances without regard to rate of thermal equilibration. Other occurrences may be contrived; there is a particular need to cool one phase or to heat the other phase, and special efforts are required to ensure that the amount of heat to be transferred and the rate at which it transfers are taken into account in the design of a contacting device that we shall call a direct-contact heat exchanger. It is with this latter case, the contrived case, with which this chapter is concerned.
