"Heat exchangers are systems used to transfer heat between two or more fluids in cooling and heating processes. They are widely used in applications such as space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petroleum refineries, sewage treatment, and internal combustion engines. Heat exchanger design methodologies are a major component of the heat transfer field and a relevant skill for engineering students and professionals involved with thermal device analysis and design implementation."-- Provided by publisher.
