Heat Exchangers: Mechanical Design, Materials Selection, Nondestructive Testing, and Manufacturing Methods

Heat Exchangers: Mechanical Design, Materials Selection, Nondestructive Testing, and Manufacturing Methods covers mechanical design of pressure vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers, including bolted flange joint design, as well as selection of a wide spectrum of materials for heat exchanger construction, their physical properties, corrosion behavior, and fabrication methods like welding.Discussing the basics of quality control, the book includes ISO Standards for QMS, EMS, EnMS, and OSHAS and references modern quality concepts such as Kaizen, TPM, and TQM. It presents Six Sigma, including Lean tools, for heat exchangers manufacturing industries. The book explores heat exchanger manufacturing methods such as fabrication of shell and tube heat exchangers and brazing and soldering of compact heat exchangers.The book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers in the field of heat exchanger design, including pressure vessel manufacturers.
