Summary

The developments in process heat transfer from the 1960s until today are reviewed and an attempt made to predict the major new developments by 2010. The review considers a range of topics including the availability of expertise, changes in the structure of the process software industry, innovations in construction, etc. and shows how these are driving mostly-modest changes. Several significant changes are identified but no revolutionary changes are foreseen. These changes cover the design process, improvements in the use of software and the evolution of existing heat exchanger types. No major new heat exchanger types are expected.
