Fluid Flow Energy Transfer And Design Ii

Fluid flow, thermodynamics and heat/mass transfer are nowadays central pillars of science and technology. They have been central to the development of our civilization because we use them not only to understand natural-world phenomena but also to achieve incremental improvements in technology. The special session “Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer and Design” held at the 10th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (DSL 2014) includes papers of different areas ranging from physics, mathematics and chemistry to engineering and provided several contributions for this topical volume. Other experts in the field of heat and mass transfer were as well invited to contribute to this volume.

The special session "Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer and Design" held at the 9th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (DSL 2013) sheltered papers of different areas ranging from physics, mathematics and chemistry to engineering. It served as a link under which authors of different areas and backgrounds came together, and make their research accessible to the varied audience. In this sense worked to counter the possible divisive tendency. This special issue is a fitting tribute to the different views since this is not a divisive tendency but the seethe of science that shapes the ever-changing landscapes of our research world.

Thermal energy is present in all aspects of our lives, including when cooking, driving, or turning on the heat or air conditioning. Sometimes this thermal management is not evident, but it is essential for our comfort and lifestyle. In addition, heat transfer is vital in many industrial processes. Thermal energy analysis is a complex task that usually requires different approaches. With five sections, this book provides information on heat transfer problems and using experimental techniques and computational models to analyse them.

Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design, Second Edition builds upon the widely-used First Edition, a text often considered to be the most prominent single-volume heat exchanger text on the market. The new and improved Second Edition serves as an equally comprehensive resource, updated to suit the latest technologies and design methods being used in the Heat Exchanger field. Written by First-Edition author Dusan P. Sekulic, this text addresses the latest developments in the industry, including a brand-new chapter on the manufacturing of compact heat exchangers. After opening with a basic introduction to heat exchanger types and design methods, the book goes on to cover more specialized topics such as such as the design of recuperators and regenerators, pressure drop analysis, geometric properties, flow friction, fouling and corrosion, and more. With many significant revisions throughout, this new edition offers more streamlined content while maintaining the consistent, detailed coverage of the fundamentals of the topic that readers appreciated in the First Edition. These unique features position the Second Edition of Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Design as the ideal text for both engineering professionals and advanced students alike.

A fully comprehensive guide to thermal systems design covering fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and thermodynamic power cycles Bridging the gap between the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and thermodynamics, and the practical design of thermo-fluids components and systems, this textbook focuses on the design of internal fluid flow systems, coiled heat exchangers and performance analysis of power plant systems. The topics are arranged so that each builds upon the previous chapter to convey to the reader that topics are not stand-alone items during the design process, and that they all must come together to produce a successful design. Because the complete design or modification of modern equipment and systems requires knowledge of current industry practices, the authors highlight the use of manufacturer’s catalogs to select equipment, and practical examples are included throughout to give readers an exhaustive illustration of the fundamental aspects of the design process. Key Features: Demonstrates how industrial equipment and systems are designed, covering the underlying theory and practical application of thermo-fluid system design Practical rules-of-thumb are included in the text as ‘Practical Notes’ to underline their importance in current practice and provide additional information Includes an instructor’s manual hosted on the book’s companion website
