Heat transfer rate analysis

Book ·
OSTI ID:7082209

This text covers the techniques of boundary layer analysis and the problems encountered in processing and other branches of engineering. It begins with an introduction to the fundamental equations of fluid flow and heat transfer, then progresses to viscous and turbulent flows, the thermodynamics of fluid flow and heat transfer, boundary layers and flow regimes, thermal effects, and limits for convective transfer. Other chapters cover conduction in viscous flow and across a moving boundary layer, an analysis of regular geometries, flow analysis of shell and tube exchangers, equilibrium relations for change in phase, pressure drop in two-phase flow, condensation of pure components, and condensation of mixtures. The final sections deal with simultaneous heat and mass transfer, boiling, and convection in furnace and tube still design.
