<p>This book insures the legacy of the original 1950 classic, Process Heat Transfer, by Donald Q. Kern.</p> <p>This second edition book is divided into three parts: Fundamental Principles; Heat Exchangers; and Other Heat Transfer Equipment/ Considerations. <br />- Part I provides a series of chapters concerned with introductory topics that are required when solving heat transfer problems. This part of the book deals with topics such as steady-state heat conduction, unsteady-state conduction, forced convection, free convection, and radiation. <br />- Part II is considered by the authors to be the “meat” of the book – addressing heat transfer equipment design procedures and applications. In addition to providing a more meaningful treatment of the various types of heat exchangers, this part also examines the impact of entropy calculations on exchanger design. <br />- Part III of the book examines other related topics of interest, including boiling and condensation, refrigeration and cryogenics, boilers, cooling towers and quenchers, batch and unsteady-state processes, health & safety and the accompanying topic of risk.</p> <p>An Appendix is also included.</p> <p>What is new in the 2nd edition</p> <p>Changes that are addressed in the 2nd edition so that Kern’s original work continues to remain relevant in 21st century process engineering include:<br />- Updated Heat Exchanger Design<br />- Increased Number of Illustrative Examples<br />- Energy Conservation/ Entropy Considerations<br />- Environmental Considerations<br />- Health & Safety<br />- Risk Assessment<br />- Refrigeration and Cryogenics<br />- Inclusion of SI Units</p>
