Overview

The recently published book by the author, ""Engineering Heat Transfer"", already dealt with exact computation of heat exchangers and tube banks. In design c- putationthisisaccomplishedviacorrectivefactors;thelattermakesitpossibleto compute the actual mean temperature difference by starting from the logarithmic onerelativeto?uidsinparallel?oworcounter?ow. As far as veri?cation computation is concerned, corrective factors were int- ducedtocomputeacertaincharacteristicfactorcorrectly,asisfundamentalforthis typeofcomputation. Basedontheabove,theauthordecidedtoinvestigatefurther,re?ne,andwiden thistopic:theoutcomeofthisworkhasresultedinthishandbook. Newtypesofexchangerswereexamined;thecalculationwasre?nedtoproduce practicallyexactvaluesforthefactors. Thescopeoftheinvestigationwasincreased by widening the range of the starting factors. Furthermore, a greater number of valuestobeincludedinthetableswasconsidered. Finally,afewcharacteristicsof certainvaluesofthecorrectivefactorswerehighlighted.
