Geschrieben von Spezialisten aus Industrie und Wissenschaft, ermöglicht das Standardwerk die Auslegung technischer Apparate und Anlagen, z. B. in der Verfahrens- und der Energietechnik. Dafür werden Daten bereitgestellt, Berechnungsmethoden eingehend erläutert und Konstruktionen vorgestellt. Die 11. deutsche Auflage enthält zahlreiche neue Beiträge, die Kapitel wurden komplett überarbeitet und dem Stand der Technik angepasst. Seit über 50 Jahren ein unentbehrliches Arbeitsmittel für Ingenieure, die sich mit Fragen der Wärmeübertragung beschäftigen.

The book provides an easy way to understand the fundamentals of heat transfer. The reader will acquire the ability to design and analyze heat exchangers. Without extensive derivation of the fundamentals, the latest correlations for heat transfer coefficients and their application are discussed. The following topics are presented - Steady state and transient heat conduction - Free and forced convection - Finned surfaces - Condensation and boiling - Radiation - Heat exchanger design - Problem-solving After introducing the basic terminology, the reader is made familiar with the different mechanisms of heat transfer. Their practical application is demonstrated in examples, which are available in the Internet as MathCad files for further use. Tables of material properties and formulas for their use in programs are included in the appendix. This book will serve as a valuable resource for both students and engineers in the industry.

The author's experience indicates that students, after 40 lectures and exercisesof 45 minutesbasedon this textbook, have proved capable of designing independently complex heat exchangers such as for cooling of rocket propulsion chambers, condensers and evaporators for heat pumps."
