Design and Operation of Heat Exchangers

Heat exchangers operate on the fundamental principle of heat transfer between fluids at different temperatures. They facilitate this transfer by enabling the higher temperature fluid to come into contact with the lower temperature fluid either directly or indirectly. The heat from the higher temperature fluid is transferred to the lower temperature fluid causing a decrease in the latter's temperature and an increase in the former's temperature.The field of heat exchanger research is currently undergoing rapid developments with a focus on increasing heat transfer efficiency. The book highlights the efforts of numerous researchers who have made significant contributions in this area. Their studies and findings are presented and discussed offering readers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in heat exchanger technology.This book explores the essential theories and principles behind heat transfer performance in heat exchangers. It covers their applications across various industries and also incorporates the utilization of modern computing technology.
