Chemical Engineering Interview Resources Part-II

Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers play a crucial role in the chemical industry by facilitating efficient heat transfer between
process streams, enhancing energy conservation, and reducing operating costs. They enable precise
temperature control for various reactions and processes, ensuring product quality and safety. Additionally,
heat exchangers minimize environmental impact by optimizing resource utilization and reducing greenhouse
gas emissions. For Part I through my LinkedIn Posts

1) Book: Chemical Engineering Design by Coulson Richardson Volume 6

Chapter-12 (Heat-transfer Equipment)
Remarks: No need to go through the solved examples in detail, just form a detailed understanding of
various parts of Heat Exchangers and the Design of Heat Exchangers.

NOTE: Keep Kern’s method for heat exchanger design on your tips.

2) Lectures of Sandeep Academy Youtube Channel

Watch all videos of this playlist LINK
Remarks: Make detailed notes of all these videos and revise them multiple times. If you struggle to
understand something then try to find it in the books, internet, or ask Chat GPT.

3) Lecture on Heat Exchange Design Parameters for Interviews LINK

4) NPTEL Lectures by Prof. Shabina Khanam (IIT Roorkee) on Process Equipment Design LINK
Remarks: These lectures are very detailed so no need to go through them exhaustively just take an
overview.
NOTE: Watch up to 16 lectures on this playlist.
