From advanced surface geometries . . . to high-speed methods for making heat transfer enhancements in a tube . . . to high-performance boiling surfaces - heat transfer enhancement concepts and manufacturing technology have advanced significantly in recent years. Indeed, today "second generation" enhancement concepts are routing in the automotive and refrigeration industries to obtain lower cost, smaller heat exchanger size, and higher energy efficiency in system operation. And the aerospace, process, and power generation industries are not far behind. To help mechanical, HVAC, aerospace, chemical, and other engineers keep pace with this burgeoning, multidisciplinary field, this guide presents an organized summary of these technological advances and defines the mechanism by which each enhancement device works. Also, wherever possible, predictive equations and analytical models for prediction of heat transfer and friction are also featured. Commercial applications and the problems and special needs of the various industries are discussed in detail, including such topics as heat and mass exchangers, enhanced tubular surfaces, enhanced fin geometries for gases, plate type heat exchangers, cooling tower packings, and distillation and column packings. In addition, fouling and its control . . . single- and two-phase heat transfer performance evaluation . . . pool boiling, vapor space and convective condensation, and convective vaporization . . . enhancement using electrical fields . . . and additives for gases and liquids are among the other vital topics covered. The first book published on the subject of advanced heat transfer, Principles of Enhanced Heat Transfer is a valuable addition to the mechanical, HVAC, aerospace, and chemical engineer's working library.
