HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN HANDBOOK

  Advertisement

Overview of Book :

A heat exchanger is a heat transfer device that exchanges heat between two or more process fluids. Heat exchangers have widespread industrial and domestic applications. Extensive technical literature is available on heat exchangers, but it is widely scattered throughout the technical journals, industrial bulletins, codes and standards, etc. This book is intended to consolidate into one volume the basic concepts of design and theoretical relationships useful in the design of heat exchangers, material selection, fabrication, and industrial practices.

Thermal design information such as heat transfer and pressure drop data, thermal design methods, and flow-induced vibration for exchangers involving single-phase flow duties are discussed. Other books and handbooks are available that deal with the design of vaporizers and condensers in which there is two-phase flow. The book is an excellent resource for mechanical, chemical, and petrochemical engineers;process equipment and pressure vessel designers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
