Heat Exchanger Design Handbook 2002 (HEDH 2002) Volume 3, Part 3. Thermal and Hydraulic Design of Heat Exchangers, Part 4. Mechanical Design of Heat Exchangers

VOLUME III PART 3. THERMAL AND HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF HEAT EXCHANGERS General heat exchanger design deals with the full gamut of heat exchanger types ranging from shell-and-tube exchangers to cooling towers, from reboilers to condensers, from agitated vessels to furnaces, New sections describe the selection, rating and design are stressed with computer algorithms for exchangers included. New and modern flow stream method is described as a replacement for the Bell-Delaware system for use with commercial computer codes. New sections on reboilers and falling-film evaporators are presented as are new upgrades of cooling towers. A totally new and comprehensive section on fouling has been printed with emphasis on the industrial applications. PART 4. MECHANICAL DESIGN OF HEAT EXCHANGERS Basic mechanical principles, materials of construction, design codes, testing and inspection, costing, flanges, tube-to-tube attachments, etc. are treated in this section. Major revisions have been included ion the present edition of HEDH 2002. A new Section of proposed European standard for unfired pressure vessels has been added, introducing new ISO work. Software for design is discussed together with various new information on new titanium metal and titanium alloys. Heat exchanger costing on the basis of per unit heat transfer surface is presented. Comparisons between heat exchanger types are included. Numerical examples are cited. Gasket materials are classified and analyzed. External insulation and protection are discussed.
