This book not only highlights key developments in compact heat exchangers, but also instills a practical knowledge of the latest process integration and heat transfer enhancement methodologies. Presenting illustrative case studies of applications in food and chemical production plants, the text progresses from the basic principles, terminology, and heat transfer aspects of compactness to the mitigation of fouling in heat exchangers and their systems. It also delivers a thoughtful analysis of the economics of implementation, considering energy–capital trade-off, capital cost estimation, and energy prices.
