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.

Compact heat exchangers

The single-blow, transient testing technique for determining the heat transfer characteristics of heat exchanger surfaces, with a summary of the underlying theory, a description of an experimental facility, and comments on the applicability of the technique, are presented. Heat transfer and flow friction data are presented for plate-fin type surfaces fabricated of perforated nickel plate. The data indicate that perforations increase heat transfer performance without a large frictional power penalty.

Performance Ranking of Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger Surfaces

Performance of Perforated Heat Exchanger Surfaces

BS>Methods are presented for evaluating the performances of compact surfaces based on their simultaneous heat transfer rats and pumping power expenditures. Calculations of approximate total costs and volume requirements for a heat exchanger are simplified with the aid of performance curves based on a unit of heat transfer surface area and a unit of exchanger volume. In certain cases, the minimum cost surface can be determined from a single plot and requires no specific cost information. Basic design data are presented for three plate- fin surfaces, each one having a different degree of heat transfer promotion. The attractiveness of each type of surface is shown to depend on the particular design specifications. (auth)
