"...probably the only book which deals exclusively with the transient performance of heat exchangers...Overall, this is a good review for research engineers involved in the field. Recommended for libraries servicing academic as well as industrial R&D in heat exchangers."

This book deals exclusively with transient processes in heat exchangers – an area of growing interest in research and development, particularly as steady-state thermal calculation methods are now so highly developed.

The contributors propose and describe suitable mathematical models and methods for the analytical and numerical treatment of transient processes in shell-and-tube, cross-flow, plate and other types of heat exchangers. Providing a firm basis for further research in this important and rapidly developing field Dynamic Behaviour of Heat Exchangers:

• Provides sufficient information for research engineers, lecturers and students to write and apply programmes for the fast calculation of transient processes in heat exchangers.

• Presents examples explaining the influence of various design parameters on dynamic behaviour.

• Demonstrates how the knowledge and understanding of dynamic behaviour can be used to indirectly measure heat transfer coefficients and other parameters.

• Reviews new developments in heat exchanger modelling.
