Hi.

Im looking for any recomendation for good books (other than kern´s) on heat transfer processes and design for self study. also i want to learn how to design evaporators, (including mechanical, heat transfer, construction, etc) I dont know a good reference to start.


Thank you.

A heat transfer textbook Third Ed. by John H Lienhard

A while ago, this book could be downloaded from the internet.

I used Coulson & Richardson's Chemical Engineering Vol 1 6th Ed while I was at Uni. It's a really good book. Another is Thermodynamics by Cengel & Boles. In the UK these books would set you back about £35 each as an idea but you could probably pick them up for less somewhere.

Try these 2 books for practical aspects of thermal design of shell and tube heat exchangers as well as the interpretation of software results:

1.

2.

Practical Thermal Design Of Shell-and-tube Heat Exchangers
(Series in Thermal & Fluid Physics & Engineering)
by RAJIV MUKHERJEE

Hardcover: 228 pages

I have found the first 2 books to be useful. The 3rd book is the most expensive, but reputed to be the most comprehensive reference.
