Mechanical Design of Process Systems: Shell-And-Tube Heat Exchangers Rotating Equipment Bins, Silos, Stacks

Updated from the 1986 edition, shows mechanical design and chemical process engineers, and graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in those fields, how to apply mechanical engineering concepts to the design and evaluation of process equipment and components in heat transfer, hydraulics, and static and dynamic analyses. Includes new information on a probabilistic approach to predict more accurately the dynamic response of vertical stacks, expanded methods for analyzing flow-induced vibration in tubular exchangers, and new techniques for analyzing nozzle loadings and designing lifting lugs. Illustrates the techniques and data with examples of actual operating units. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
