Heat Exchanger Design Handbook (Mechanical Engineering)

No. just no. This book is like what would have resulted if Donald Trump authored a book on heat exchangers with no ghost writer or editor and a randomly generated title. The table of contents is like titles of Wikipedia articles that are just peripherally-related to heat transfer vomited keywords in no logical order.If you are actually trying to DESIGN a heat exchanger, this is the equivalent to saying "do it correctly and no troubleshooting is necessary."There are probably a thousand topics addressed, but each topic is acknowledged for a maximum of two paragraphs. More like three sentences. Minimal math, unexplained equations, errors in equations (looking for NTU?... well, stop. they typed NUT). And arghhh... some chapters have their own nomenclature at the end of the that chapter (some don't) ... and most chapters' nomenclature is unique.Flow rates through heat exchangers? Three sentences.Detuning?And I quote... in it's entirety... "this topic has already been discussed."Fatigue analysis?Definition of cyclic service. One sentence.That's hilarious.Gamma rays? (Relevant?) About the same amount of info.Author's probable reaction to me purchasing this book: HahahahahaI think I will burn the book to remove all incriminating evidence that I ever owned such a colossal waste of paper and supported and author who is insult to engineering.

This is good book even though I found a few wrong called out references.I wish if book could have some common things stated in the book such as heat transfer coefficients or fouling factors instead of refer to the references.

I like this bookI had join design a serial petroleum plant team.And had design and maintenance heat exchanger about construction.I like this book for reference.

Fast delivery at a competitive price.

Very complete analyses, both practical and theoretical aspects well covered.I would like some more details on calculating combined convection-radiation bundles.

The book gives very comprehensive descriptions of a wide range of heat exchangers. I was a little disappointed that there was not more information about actual heat transfer and pressure drop performance. I expected to find more correlations for heat transfer coefficients etc.

If you want to dive deep and gain insight to all the exchanger knowledge, you need to have this. Hard copy is the best.Thanks to the Author..

Got it at good price !!
