Handbook For Transversely Finned Tube Heat Exchanger Design

Handbook for Transversely Finned Tubes Heat Exchangers Design contains detailed experimental data, correlations, and design methods for designing and improving the performance of finned tube heat exchangers. It covers the three main types, circular finned, square finned, and helical finned tube bundles. Based on extensive experimental studies and tested at leading design and research institutions, this handbook provides an extensive set of materials for calculating and designing convective surfaces from transversely finned tubes, with a particular emphasis on power plant applications. Provides a design manual for calculating heat transfer and aerodynamic resistance of convective heating surfaces fabricated in the form of tube bundles with transverse circular, square and helical fins Presents calculations for finned surfaces operating under conditions of clean and dust-laden flows alike, including finned convective heating surfaces of boilers Includes a fully solved exercise at the end of the book, illustrating the top-down approach specially oriented to power plant heat exchangers

This comprehensive reference covers important aspects of heat exchangers (HEs): design and modes of operation and practical, large-scale applications in process, power, petroleum, transport, air conditioning, refrigeration, cryogenics, heat recovery, energy, and other industries. This second edition includes over 400 drawings, diagrams, tables, and equations, includes updated material throughout; coverage of the latest advances in HE design techniques; expanded and updated coverage of materials selection; and a look at the newest fabrication techniques.

Heat Exchanger Design Guide: A Practical Guide for Planning, Selecting and Designing of Shell and Tube Exchangers takes users on a step-by-step guide to the design of heat exchangers in daily practice, showing how to determine the effective driving temperature difference for heat transfer. Users will learn how to calculate heat transfer coefficients for convective heat transfer, condensing, and evaporating using simple equations. Dew and bubble points and lines are covered, with all calculations supported with examples. This practical guide is designed to help engineers solve typical problems they might encounter in their day-to-day work, and will also serve as a useful reference for students learning about the field. The book is extensively illustrated with figures in support of the text and includes calculation examples to ensure users are fully equipped to select, design, and operate heat exchangers. Covers design method and practical correlations needed to design practical heat exchangers for process application Includes geometrical calculations for the tube and shell side, also covering boiling and condensation heat transfer Explores heat transfer coefficients and temperature differences Designed to help engineers solve typical problems they might encounter in their day-to-day work, but also ideal as a useful reference for students learning about the field
