Compact Heat Exchangers for Energy Transfer Intensification

This book not only highlights key developments in compact heat exchangers, but also instills a practical knowledge of the latest process integration and heat transfer enhancement methodologies. Presenting illustrative case studies of applications in food and chemical production plants, the text progresses from the basic principles, terminology, and heat transfer aspects of compactness to the mitigation of fouling in heat exchangers and their systems. It also delivers a thoughtful analysis of the economics of implementation, considering energy-capital trade-off, capital cost estimation, and energy prices.

Jiri Jaromir Klemes holds a D.Sc from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Doctor Honoris Causa degrees from the Kharkiv State Polytechnic University, Ukraine; the University of Maribor, Slovenia; and the Politehnica University of Bucharest, Romania. Dr Klemes is a Polya professor and the Head of the Centre for Process Integration and Intensification-CPI2 at the University of Pannonia, Veszprem in Hungary. He worked previously for 20 years in the Department of Process Integration at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, UK, and after the merge with The University of Manchester, UK, as Senior Project Officer and Honorary Reader.
