Book Description
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.

Book Description
Heat exchangers are vital equipment in power producing plants; process and chemical industries; heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems; and the cooling of electronics. This book focuses on thermohydraulic design, design processes, rating, and operational problems of various types of heat exchangers. One of the main objectives of this text is to introduce thermal design by describing various types of single phase and two phase heat exchangers. -- Special attention to the design of heat exchangers subject to fouling is presented -- An extensive appendix provides thermophysical properties of various fluids including the new refrigerants -- End of chapter worked examples illustrate thermal design methods and procedures -- End of chapter problems, including student design projects, enhance design applications

Book Description
Double-skin facades open up new possibilities for clients and planners seeking creative new designs that are intelligently adapted to environmental conditions. This publication is the first to give a comprehensive treatment of the subject, providing both a theoretical framework for the use of this type of construction and numerous illustrations of practical examples. The book provides an in-depth study not only of issues such as acoustic and thermal insulation, aerophysics and facade construction, but also of the question of economic viability. Numerous illustrations and plans offer clear and precise insights into the construction of this new development in building design. Up to now double-skin facades have been used mainly for large buildings such as the debis headquarters on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. They can be used, however, with equal success for smaller buildings as a means of reducing the ingress of external noise and improving ventilation.
