This advanced course covers all design and specification aspects of the different types of heat exchangers. Scientific principles, design principles, standards and industrial practices are presented to the attendants. Thermodynamics leading to design and operating specifications are covered in detail. Materials selection and manufacturing methodologies complete this 5-days seminar. Several optimization examples are included whereas the advantages and shortcomings of different HX are revealed. Novel approaches in manufacturing HX are also presented. Dimensionless numbers and similarity principle are explained in detail so that the attendant develops and understanding of designing HX for complex geometries and transient conditions.
