Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design
A unique, single-source volume offering essential material on heat exchanger designIn a unified approach suitable to many applications, Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design details an in-depth thermal and hydraulic design theory underlying two-fluid heat exchangers for steady-state operation. An overall focus is given to offering guidance on applying basic heat exchanger design concepts to the solution of industrial heat exchanger problems.
Critical coverage for complex engineering design analysis features step-by-step guidelines for rating and sizing design procedures for four types of exchangers (extended surface, plate-type, regenerator, and shell-and-tube), examinations of all auxiliary calculations related to heat transfer characteristics and pressure drop calculations, and insightful material on such subjects
Thermal and hydraulic design theory for both recuperators and regenerators Surface basic heat transfer and flow friction characteristics Heat exchanger surface geometrical properties Thermodynamic analysis and modeling Flow maldistribution and header design Fouling and corrosion Complete with solved examples and problems clarifying important concepts and applications, Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design is a powerful tool for students, researchers, and engineers.
