TABLE OF CONTENTS Heat-exchanger analyses and design calculations, including those involving compact heat exchangers, are a staple of many heat-transfer books. This handbook is no exception. The calculations and analyses included in this part are all by academics in the United States and Canada. Three of them deal with the real world:
Air cooling of a high-voltage power supply using a compact heat exchanger
A heat recovery system for an industrial clothes dryer
Passive condensers (heat exchangers driven by natural forces and not requiring any power supplies, moving parts, or operator actions) in nuclear reactors
The remaining three chapters present general methodologies:
A rigorous, step-by-step methodology for calculating core dimensions of a compact heat exchanger with the most intricate basic flow arrangement situation in a single-pass configuration a crossflow in which fluids do not mix orthogonal to the respective flow directions
An analysis methodology for an air-cooled heat exchanger with single-phase natural circulation loops
A design methodology based on optimization via an evolutionary algorithm that manipulates populations of solutions by mating the...
