Compact Heat Exchangers

Selection, Application, Design and Evaluation

Beschreibung

This book describes the fundamentals and applications of compact heat exchangers in energy generation. Thetext focuses on their efficiency impacts on power systems, particularly emphasizing alternative energy sources such as Concentrated Solar Power and nuclear plants.

The various types of compact heat exchanger surfaces anddesigns are given thorough consideration before the author turns his attentionto describing how these compact heat exchangers can be applied to innovative plant designs, and how to conduct operational and safety analyses to optimize thermal efficiency. The book iswritten at an undergraduate level, but will be useful to practicing engineersand scientists as well.

Autor

Dr.Bahman Zohuri is founder of Galaxy Advanced Engineering, Inc. a consulting company that he formed upon leaving the semiconductor and defenseindustries after many years as a Senior Process Engineer for corporationsincluding Westinghouse and Intel, and then as Senior Chief Scientist at LockheedMissile and Aerospace Corporation . During his time with Westinghouse ElectricCorporation, he performed thermal hydraulic analysis and natural circulationfor Inherent Shutdown Heat Removal System (ISHRS) in the core of a Liquid MetalFast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR). While at Lockheed, he was responsible for the studyof vulnerability, survivability and component radiation and laser hardening for DefenseSupport Program (DSP), Boost Surveillance and Tracking Satellites (BSTS) andSpace Surveillance and Tracking Satellites (SSTS). He also performed analysisof characteristics of laser beam and nuclear radiation interaction withmaterials, Transient Radiation Effects in Electronics (TREE), ElectromagneticPulse (EMP), System Generated Electromagnetic Pulse (SGEMP), Single-Event Upset(SEU), Blast and, Thermo-mechanical, hardness assurance, maintenance, anddevice technology. His consultancy clients have included Sandia NationalLaboratories, and he holds patents in areas such as the design of diffusionfurnaces, and Laser Activated Radioactive Decay. He is the author of severalbooks on heat transfer and directed energy weapons technologies.
