Process Heat Transfer

Process Heat Transfer
By Donald Q. Kern

Process Heat Transfer by Donald Q. Kern is a classic and gold-standard reference in chemical engineering, originally published in 1950 and long considered essential reading for engineers working with heat transfer equipment design. The book was written to promote instruction in heat transfer while employing the methods and language of industry, providing the practical heat transfer tools required in real-world process engineering. Its straightforward, industry-oriented approach has made it a staple resource that many practicing engineers keep as part of their professional library throughout their careers.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Steady-state heat conduction
• Unsteady-state conduction
• Forced convection
• Free convection
• Radiation heat transfer
• Design of double-pipe, shell-and-tube, and extended surface heat exchangers
• Condensation and boiling
• Evaporation
• Batch and unsteady-state processes
• Refrigeration and cryogenics
• Insulation and refractory considerations

Key features:

• Kern's original, industry-tested design methodology for major heat exchanger types
• Practical approach bridging academic heat transfer theory with real-world process engineering practice
• Widely regarded as the definitive classic text on process heat transfer design
• Long-standing influence across generations of practicing chemical and mechanical engineers
• Comprehensive treatment of both fundamental principles and detailed equipment design procedures
• Enduring relevance in professional practice, decades after its original publication

Perfect for:

• Chemical engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying process heat transfer and heat exchanger design
• Mechanical engineering students specializing in thermal systems
• Faculty teaching process heat transfer courses
• Practicing chemical and mechanical engineers working on heat exchanger design
