Preface
After the publication of “Pressure Vessel Design” and “Steam Generators” by Springer Verlag which were written for field experts, I decided to write a generalist textbook. It is designed for anybody interested in heat transmission, including scholars, designers and students, instead of experts of a specific field. Two criteria constitute the foundation of all my publications including the present one. The first one consists of indispensable scientific rigour without theoretical exasperation. The second criterion is to deliver practical solutions to operational problems. Admirable theoretical studies stand out because of their scientific rigor and depth. Unfortunately, though, at times they have little impact on design requirements because they either refer to schemata too remote from actual phenomena, or because the obtained results differ from the outcome derived from experimental data. In addition, heat transfer involves quite complex phenomena, and typically theory is either missing or too generic to be applied to operational scenarios. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to adopt empirical computation criteria. These are less striking than a theoretical discourse, but certainly more useful to the designer. Moreover, in my opinion the inclusion of these theoretical studies would have strengthened the scientific foundation of this publication, yet without providing the reader with further applicable know-how. The second criterion is fulfilled through equations grounded on scientific rigor, as well as a series of approximated equations, leading to convenient and practically acceptable solutions, and through diagrams and tables. When a practical case is close to a well defined theoretical solution, we discuss corrective fa
