Fundamentals of Industrial Heat Exchangers (eBook)

Fundamentals of Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, Construction, and Operation is a detailed guide to the design and construction of heat exchangers in both a research and industry context. This book is split into three parts, firstly outlining the fundamental properties of various types of heat exchangers and the critical decisions surrounding material selection, manufacturing methods, and cleaning options. The second part provides a comprehensive grounding in the theory and analysis of heat exchangers, guiding the reader step-by-step toward thermal design. Finally, the book shows how to apply industrial codes to this process with a detailed demonstration, designing a shell-and-tube exchanger compliant with the important but complex code ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1. Taking into account the real-world considerations of heat-exchanger design, this book takes a reader from fundamental principles to the mechanical design of heat exchangers for industry or research. - Presents a full guide to the design of heat exchangers from thermal analysis to mechanical construction - Provides detailed case studies and real-world applications, including a unique collection of photos, sketches, and data from industry and research - Takes designers through the process of applying industry codes using a step-by-step demonstration of designing shell-and-tube heat exchangers compliant with ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1

Dr Nemati has more than 22 years of academic and industrial experience. He is the author and co-author of 43 top peer-reviewed journals and conference articles. Besides his academic activities, he is a professional in the design and construction of different types of exchangers, especially shell and tube heat exchangers and air coolers. He has cooperated on several large-scale petrochemical projects.
