Compact Heat Exchangers

Abstract

THE book presents friction factors and Stanton numbers for 88 heat-exchanger configurations together with a text explaining the parameters and their use in design calculations.This extensive compilation is the result of research which has been conducted chiefly at Stanford University since 1945.The book contains the following chapters: 1 Introduction; 2 Heat exchanger analysis; 3 Effects of temperature dependent fluid properties; 4 Abrupt contraction and expansion, pressure loss coefficients; 5 Analytical solutions for flow in tubes; 6 Summaries of analyses and experiments for simple geometries; 7 Experimental methods; 8 Heat transfer surface geometry; 9 Heat transfer and flow friction design data.
