| dc.description.abstract | Heat exchanger is an 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 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.
An experiment was conducted with a fin-and-tube heat exchanger model. It uses empirical heat
transfer and flow friction correlations identified in the literature. The heat transfer capacity with
fin and without fin was investigated experimentally. Related calculations were done to compare
the heat transfer performance of heat exchanger with fin and without fin. The model structure, its
range of validity and accuracy are described in details | en_US |
