HEAT EXCHANGERS SELECTION RATING AND THERMAL DESIGN 4ED (HB 2020) Hardcover

Heat Exchangers: Selection, Rating, and Thermal Design, Fourth Edition has been revised and fully updated with new problems, offering a systematic approach to heat exchangers, emphasizing their selection, thermal-hydraulic design, and performance rating. Covering a wide array of engineering applications from power plants to HVAC systems, the book discusses heat exchanger classification, fundamental design methods for sizing and rating, single-phase forced convection correlations, pressure drop and pumping power considerations, and thermal design methods for various types including double-pipe, shell-and-tube, plate, compact, and polymer exchangers. It also addresses two-phase convection, the thermal design of condensers and evaporators, and micro/nanoheat transfer. The Fourth Edition features updated information on microscale heat exchangers and methods to enhance heat transfer using nanofluids for design and experimentation. Intended for courses in process heat transfer, thermal systems design, and heat exchanger technology, this text provides comprehensive coverage of all commonly used heat exchanger types. A complete solutions manual and figure slides are available for instructors.
