Heat Exchangers: Selection, Rating, and Thermal Design, Third Edition

• Used Book in Good Condition

<P>Heat exchangers are essential in a wide range of engineering applications, including power plants, automobiles, airplanes, process and chemical industries, and heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Revised and updated with new problem sets and examples, <STRONG>Heat Exchangers: Selection, Rating, and Thermal Design, Third Edition</STRONG> presents a systematic treatment of the various types of heat exchangers, focusing on selection, thermal-hydraulic design, and rating.</P> <P></P> <P>Topics discussed include:</P> <P></P> <UL> <P> <LI>Classification of heat exchangers according to different criteria</LI> <LI>Basic design methods for sizing and rating of heat exchangers</LI> <LI>Single-phase forced convection correlations in channels</LI> <LI>Pressure drop and pumping power for heat exchangers and their piping circuit</LI> <LI>Design solutions for heat exchangers subject to fouling</LI> <LI>Double-pipe heat exchanger design methods</LI> <LI>Correlations for the design of two-phase flow heat exchangers</LI> <LI>Thermal design methods and processes for shell-and-tube, compact, and gasketed-plate heat exchangers</LI> <LI>Thermal design of condensers and evaporators</LI> <P></P></UL> <P></P> <P>This third edition contains two new chapters. <EM>Micro/Nano Heat Transfer</EM> explores the thermal design fundamentals for microscale heat exchangers and the enhancement heat transfer for applications to heat exchanger design with nanofluids. It also examines single-phase forced convection correlations as well as flow friction factors for microchannel flows for heat transfer and pumping power calculations. <EM>Polymer</EM> <EM>Heat Exchangers</EM> introduces an alternative design option for applications hindered by the operating limitations of metallic heat exchangers. The appendices provide the thermophysical properties of various fluids.</P> <P></P> <P>Each chapter contains examples illustrating thermal design methods and procedures and relevant nomenclature. End-of-chapter problems enable students to test their assimilation of the material.</P>
