Principles of Enhanced Heat Transfer

Download or read book Principles of Enhanced Heat Transfer written by Ralph L. Webb and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-06-23 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essential for anyone involved in the design of high-performance heat exchangers or heat devices, also known as "second generation heat transfer technology." Enhanced surfaces are geometrics with special shapes that promote much higher rates of heat transfer than smooth or plain surfaces. This revision presents the subject matter just beyond the introductory level and traces the advancement of heat transfer research in areas such as integral-fin and micro-fin tubes, complex plate-fin geometries, and micro-channels for single-phase and two-phase applications.
