Fundamentals of Industrial Heat Exchangers : Selection, Design, Construction, and Operation

Fundamentals of Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, Construction, and Operation details the design and construction of heat exchangers in both research and industry contexts. This book is split into three parts, firstly outlining the fundamental properties of various types of heat exchangers and the critical decisions surrounding material selection, manufacturing methods, and cleaning options. Other sections provide a comprehensive grounding in the theory and analysis of heat exchangers, guiding the reader through thermal design. Finally, the book shows how to apply industrial codes to this process with detailed demonstrations, designing a shell-and-tube exchanger compliant with important but complex code ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1. Taking into account the real-world considerations of heat-exchanger design, this book takes a reader from fundamental principles to the mechanical design of heat exchangers for industry or research.
