    • English
    Fundamentals of Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, Construction, and Operation details the design and construction of heat exchangers in both research and industry contexts. This book is split into three parts, firstly outlining the fundamental properties of various types of heat exchangers and the critical decisions surrounding material selection, manufacturing methods, and cleaning options. Other sections provide a comprehensive grounding in the theory and analysis of heat exchangers, guiding the reader through thermal design. Finally, the book shows how to apply industrial codes to this process with detailed demonstrations, designing a shell-and-tube exchanger compliant with important but complex code ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1. Taking into account the real-world considerations of heat-exchanger design, this book takes a reader from fundamental principles to the mechanical design of heat exchangers for industry or research.

  • Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods

    • 1st Edition
    • Kamel A. Abd-Elsalam
    • English
    Nanofertilizer Delivery, Effects and Application Methods explores the science of nutrient nanoformulation, a potential tool toward sustainable and climate-sensitive crops. The book discusses the potential agricultural benefits of nanofertilizers, from coverage of their formulation and delivery, to application, plant uptake, translocation, and destiny, and their overall effect on plant physiology and metabolism. As the widespread use of chemical fertilizers has been shown to causes significant damage to soil structure, mineral cycles, soil microbial flora, plants, and create human health risk, both immediately and for future generations, this book elucidates on the latest findings.According to recent studies, through environmental cues and biological demands, nano-fertilizers can respond to specifical challenges and boost agricultural yield by increasing the rate of seed germination, seedling growth, photosynthetic activity, nitrogen metabolism, and carbohydrate and protein synthesis. This book is ideal for researchers in industry and academia.
