This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of heat exchangers, essential devices used to transfer heat between two or more fluid streams. It covers various types of heat exchangers, including shell-and-tube, plate, and finned-tube exchangers, along with their design and operating principles....
Types of Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers transfer heat between two fluids.
One fluid gains heat and the other loses heat. If the

one fluid increases in temperature and the other
decreases in temperature.
