Summary

The aim of the book is to provide a comprehensive account of all three aspects of heat transfer at a level suitable for both the student and the practicing engineer or designer. Extract from the table of contents: mechanisms of heat transfer; basic theory of heat exchangers; selection of heat exchangers; double-pipe, shell-and-tube, plate-fin, plate-and-frame and air-cooled heat exchangers; two-phase flow; boiling heat transfer; heat exchangers with vapour generation; evaporators; condensation; heat exchangers with vapour condensation; air-cooled condensers; condensation in plate-and-frame plate-fin heat exchangers; direct-contact heat transfer; direct-contact condensers; water cooling towers; heat transfer associated with thermodynamic cycles; fouling of heat exchangers; enhancement of heat transfer; regenerative heat exchangers; heat transfer in agitated vessels. Heat exchanger performance (equations and charts) and thermophysical properties of substances are given in an appendix.
