| dc.description.abstract | Heat exchanger is equipment used to transfer heat from one fluid to another. It has extensive
domestic and industrial applications. Extensive technical literature is available on heat
exchanger design, operation and maintenance, but it is widely scattered throughout the
industrial bulletins, industrial design codes and standard, technical journals, etc. The purpose
of this book chapter is to consolidate into basic background and concepts design of heat
exchangers, operation, cleaning and green technology maintenance on heat exchanger closely
related to the industrial practices. A fin-and-tube heat exchanger model is presented in this
paper. It uses empirical heat transfer and flow friction correlations identified in the literature.
The model structure, its range of validity and accuracy are described in detail. | en_US |
