Design and Operation of Heat Exchangers and their Networks

Design and Operation of heat Exchangers and their Networks presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis on the thermal design methods for the most common types of heat exchangers, with a focus on their networks, simulation procedures for their operations, and measurement of their thermal performances. Roetzel, Luo and Chen address the fundamental theories and principles of heat transfer performance of heat exchangers and their applications whilst applying them to the use of modern computing technology. The main topics presented in this book include cell method and moving boundary models for condensers and evaporators, dispersion models for heat exchangers, experimental methods for the evaluation of heat exchanger performance, and multi-stream heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks.
