Cartaxo S. Tubular Heat Exchangers. for Chemical Engineers 2022

Textbook in PDF format

This book explains basics from physical chemistry and fl uid mechanics to understand, construct and apply tubular heat exchangers for the (chemical) industry. Examples from practice highlight the required equations, physical properties and raise critical steps for the design of for example tubular double-pipe, multi-tubes and fi nned heat exchangers. Exercises and corresponding solutions deepen the gained knowledge and clarify the described theory.
