Abstract
When calculating heat exchangers the analysis can have completely different goals: Design of heat exchangers: mass flow rates and temperatures of the fluids are defined, the dimensions of the heat exchanger must be calculated Recalculation of heat exchangers: the geometry of the heat exchanger is known and its performance has to be calculated in off-design conditions Optimization of heat exchangers and systems Mechanical design In practice the thermal and mechanical design go hand in hand with the goal of optimizing the heat exchanger. In this book only the thermal design is explained, as this is the foundation for all other analyses.
