The content of this book originates from 35 years of teaching steam generators to graduate students at the Politecnico of Milan, Milan, Italy, and from 45 years of professional activity in this area rst in industry and then as founder of a design and consulting company. Beforediscussingthecontentofthetextbook, Iwouldliketopresenttherationale for the title. Boilers are machines consisting of steam-generating tubes only, that is, of internal and external tubes where water is transformed into saturated steam. Steam generators or, simply, generators indicate machines equipped with one or more of...

1 Industrial Sectors Interested in Pressure Vessels Pressure vessels are probably the most widespread machines within the di?erentindustrialsectors.Infact, thereisnofactorywithoutpressurevessels, steam boilers, tanks, autoclaves, collectors, heat exchangers, pipes, etc. More speci?cally, pressure vessels represent fundamental components in sectors of enormous industrial importance, such as the nuclear, oil, petrochemical, and chemical sectors. There are periodic international symposia on the problems related to the veri?cation of pressure vessels....

This book is a generalist textbook; it is designed for anybody interested in heat transmission, including scholars, designers and students.
Two criteria constitute the foundation of Annaratone's books, including the present one.
The first one consists of indispensable scientific rigor without theoretical exasperation.
The inclusion in the book of some theoretical studies, even if admirable for their scientific rigor, would have strengthened the scientific foundation of this publication, yet without providing the reader with further applicable know-how.

Making use of the dimensionless Biot number, this volume presents a new, direct computational method for transient heat transfer. The approach allows readers to make transient heat transfer calculations without using finite difference programs.
