Handbook of Heat Exchangers: A structured reference for heat-exchanger analysis, design and engineering calculations

By Ram Ji Tripathi, Varun Kumar Singh, Suraj

Handbook of Heat Exchanger is a comprehensive and practical reference for understanding the fundamentals, analysis, design, and performance evaluation of heat exchangers. The book presents important thermal and fluid-flow concepts in a structured, equation-oriented format, making it useful for both academic study and engineering applications. Beginning with heat balance, heat-capacity rate, overall heat-transfer equations, LMTD, and the ε-NTU method, the book develops the essential tools required for heat-exchanger analysis. It further covers Reynolds, Prandtl and Nusselt numbers, heat-transfer correlations, hairpin and double-pipe exchangers, finned hairpins, fouling, overall heat-transfer coefficients, pressure drop, and pumping power. Special emphasis is given to compact heat exchangers, including compactness, heat-transfer area density, Stanton number, Colburn j-factor, exchanger geometry, pressure-drop calculations, and overall heat-transfer performance. The book also provides master design sequences, consolidated formula sheets, nomenclature, and design checklists for quick reference. Designed for B.Tech. and M.Tech. students, Ph.D. scholars, researchers, and practicing engineers, this handbook provides a convenient bridge between heat-transfer theory and practical exchanger design. Its systematic presentation of equations and design procedures makes it suitable as a textbook companion, design reference, and technical handbook.
