Reviews

It was an education to go through the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook authored by Mr. T. Kuppan. The author should be complemented for his attempt in compiling relevant and useful information for all types of heat exchangers covering design concepts, materials, fabrication, quality control and other in-service related problems. So far, many practicing engineers need to refer to several books/codes to know the various aspects relating to heat exchangers. The author has done his best to bring out the Handbook for ready reference with formulae, data and with good illustrations. This reference book will be very useful to consultants, designers, manufacturers and users of heat exchangers and will also serve the interests of educational institutions. I hope this book will benefit the industry and will find worldwide acceptance.
