Thermal design of heat exchangers. A numerical approach: direct sizing and stepwise rating.

Author(s) : SMITH E. M.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book is unique in adopting a numerical approach to the thermal design of heat exchangers. The computation of mean temperature difference, with accommodation of longitudinal conduction effects, makes full optimisation of the exchanger core possible. Extract of contents: fundamentals; steady-state temperature profiles; direct sizing of plate-fin, helical-tube, bayonet-tube, and of RODbaffle exchangers; transients in contraflow and in crossflow exchangers; single-blow testing and regenerators; cryogenic heat exchangers and stepwise rating; variable heat transfer coefficients; transient equations with longitudinal conduction and wall thermal storage; algorithms and schematic source listings; optimisation of rectangular offset-strip plate-fin surfaces; performance data for RODbaffle exchangers; evaluation of single-blow outlet response.
