All the popular features of the first edition are retained while new ones are added. In this edition, modifications have been made throughout the book in response to users’ suggestions and input from students who heard lectures based on the first edition of this book. Because of the importance of heat transfer enhancement, introductory material on the subject has been added to Chapter 10. Chapter 8 has been modified; as an application of the Bell-Delaware method, a new solved example has been added and the others revised. Chapter 9, dealing with the gasketed-plate heat exchanger, has been revised and new correla- tions to calculate heat transfer and friction coefficients for chevron type plates have been provided; solved examples in Chapter 9 and throughout the book have been modified. Included are 37 solved examples to demonstrate thermal-hydraulic design and the rating of heat exchangers; these examples have been extensively revised. A complete solutions manual is now also available, which provides guidance for approaching the thermal design problems of heat exchangers and for the design project topics suggested at the end of each chapter. Heat exchangers are vital in power producing plants, process and chemical industries, and in heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, refrigeration sys- tems, and cooling of electronic systems. A large number of industries are engaged in designing various types of heat exchange equipment. Courses ate offered at many colleges and universities on thermal design under var- ious titles. There is extensive literature on this subject, however, the information has been widely scattered. This book provides a systematic approach and should be used as an up-to-date textbook based on scattered literature for senior undergraduate and first year graduate students in mechanical, nuclear, aero- space, and chemical engineering programs who have taken introductory courses in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. This system- atic approach is also essential for beginners who are interested in industrial applications of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, and for the designers and the operators of the heat exchange equipment. This book focuses on the selection, thermo-hydraulic design, design processes, rating, and operational problems of various types of heat exchangers. The new criterion provided by the Accreditation Board on Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires engineering design across engineering
