Practical Thermal Design of Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers (Series in Thermal & Fluid Physics & Engineering)

The thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers is a fascinating activity - sometimes even more so than that of shell-and-tube heat exchangers - for the simple reason that there are more variables: even the coolant (air) flow rate is a variable. This book will inspire the reader to consider the thermal design of air-cooled heat exchangers as a joyous activity rather than a mundane chore.
