TLDR
The third edition of the second edition as discussed by the authors was published in 1964 and contains basic test data for eleven new surface configurations, including some of the very compact ceramic matrices, in both the English and the Systeme International (SI) system of units.
Abstract
This third edition is an update of the second edition published in 1964. New data and more modern theoretical solutions for flow in the simple geometries are included, although this edition does not differ radically from the second edition. It contains basic test data for eleven new surface configurations, including some of the very compact ceramic matrices. Al dimensions are given in both the English and the Systeme International (SI) system of units.

Preliminary issues associated with the next generation nuclear plant intermediate heat exchanger design

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed thermal-hydraulic analysis was performed to calculate heat transfer, temperature distribution, and pressure drop inside both printed circuit and shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

Heat transfer performance enhancement in compact heat exchangers by using shallow square dimples in flat tubes

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of shallow square dimples on the walls of flat tubes in compact heat exchangers for vehicular applications was investigated through tests in a calorimeter and validated through predictions performed using recent literature.

Friction characteristics of compressible gas flows in microtubes

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison among three different methods to calculate the friction factor is made in order to evidence limitations and advantages of each method, and the effects due to the gas acceleration on the laminar-to-turbulent transition in microtubes are investigated by evidencing the role of the L/D (length to diameter) ratio on the transition to turbulence.

Simplified thermal modeling of indirect evaporative heat exchangers

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified model using a modified effectiveness-number of transfer units (NTU) method for thermal performance simulation of indirect evaporative heat exchangers is presented and then validated utilizing experimental data from the literature.
