Publisher's Synopsis
Heat transfer, the flow of energy in the form of heat, is a process by which a system's internal energy is changed, hence is of vital use in applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics. Essential data on heat exchange equipment used in, locomotive, and power plants are presented in a systematic manner. The data cover the principal types and technical and performance characteristics of heat exchangers, fundamentals of the theory of heat exchange, calculation of heat transfer coefficients for different types of heat exchange apparatus. This book of Handbook of Heat Exchanger Engineering Techniques contains information submitted by leading authorities to provide a basic reference and introduction to the main aspects of this extensive subject. Most of the information provided is of a general nature rather than that of specific projects or components.
