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.
- Presents a full guide to the design of heat exchangers from thermal analysis to mechanical construction
- Provides detailed case studies and real-world applications, including a unique collection of photos, sketches, and data from industry and research
- Takes designers through the process of applying industry codes using a step-by-step demonstration of designing shell-and-tube heat exchangers compliant with ASME, Sec. VIII, Div.1
Academics and graduate students from mechanical, chemical and process engineering researching the design and development of heat exchangers. Industrial engineers and project managers working on heat exchangers in the oil, gas, petrochemical and power plant sectors

Mohammad Moghimi Ardekani
Since 2013 Dr Ardekani has been actively involved in the design and optimisation of new technologies and devices in the fields of renewable energy (solar thermal technologies in particular), thermal energy storage, and multiphase-based (including nanofluid) heat sinks. He has published 55 articles in top peer-reviewed journals and prestigious conference proceedings, one book, two book chapters and a webinar in collaboration with different research institutes and companies around the world including Imperial College London (UK), the University of Clarkson (USA), and the National Technical University of Athens (Greece). He has secured research grants for, managed, and delivered funded projects worth over £1.7m. Previous to his academic career, he worked in solar thermal, oil, gas and petrochemical plants for over 4 years. His scientific activities have earned him the international Green Talent Award from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) which introduced me as a top young scientist in Green Energy in 2015, while he was also named a Promising Young Researcher (Y2 rating) by the National Research Foundation of South Africa. He is on 3 editorial boards and a reviewer of 19 notable accredited journals.

Josua P. Meyer
Prof Josua Meyer, is a professor at Stellenbosch University. His research has a broad focus on the thermal sciences, but with a narrower focus on heat exchangers. His heat exchanger work focuses on fundamental work in internal forced convection, the transitional flow regime, nanofluids, boiling, and condensation. On an applications level his work focuses on thermal-solar, wind- and nuclear energy. He has received 11 different teaching awards from three different universities. He has won more than 43 research awards including 33 awards for best article of the year or best conference paper. His is a “highly cited researcher” and is amongst the top 2% scientists in the world. He is on the editorial board of 13 journals and is editor of 7 journals in his field of research. He has (co)authored more than 800 articles, conference papers, book chapters, and patents and has (co)supervised more than 150 research masters and PhD students
