Volume II of the Heat Exchange Primer deals with thermal engineering processes in chemical, environmental and industrial plants. It provides the reader with decision-making aids for planning and shows the advantages and disadvantages of the various solutions. The essential aspects are explained and the calculations for the following topics are illustrated with practical examples: Heating with steam or thermal oil Tank and vessel heating Calculation of transient heating or cooling times Design of temperature control systems Cooling with water, air or refrigerants Stirred vessel systems Insulation of pipelines and vessels Calculations for pipe trace heating Design of vacuum pumps The design of heat exchangers, condensers and evaporators is shown in the Heat Exchange Primer I with many examples.
