Mechanical Design of Process Systems: Shell-And-Tube Heat Exchangers Rotating Equipment Bins, Silos, Stacks

This revised and updated volume presents some of the latest, most practical techniques for analyzing and designing process equipment and components. It includes information on: a probabilistic approach to more accurately predicting the dynamic response for vertical stacks; expanded state-of-the-art methods for analyzing flow-induced vibration in tubular exchangers; new research finding and numeric methods for analyzing nozzle loadings and designing lifting lugs. All techniques and data described are "field-tested". Most of these techniques and applications are illustrated in worked examples of the design of actual operating units. This allows practising engineers to use the techniques with confidence, and helps engineering professors better acquaint their students with "real-life" design problems.
