This book explains basics from physical chemistry and fluid mechanics to understand, construct and apply tubular heat exchangers for the (chemical) industry. Examples from practice highlight the required equations, physical properties and raise critical steps for the design of for example tubular double-pipe, multi-tubes and finned heat exchangers. Exercises and corresponding solutions deepen the gained knowledge and clarify the described theory.
