Dans la majorité des installations industrielles, l’utilisation rationnelle de l’énergie est un facteur déterminant de rentabilité et de protection de l’environnement. La majeure partie des échanges énergétiques industriels se fait moyennant des échangeurs de chaleurs. La maîtrise des calculs, du dimensionnement et du design de ces appareils d’échange de chaleur est une compétence fortement demandée dans le domaine de l’ingénierie énergétique et des procédés. Cet ouvrage propose un apprentissage facilité à travers un descriptif complet des différents types d’échangeurs de chaleur (tubulaires, à plaques…), leurs technologies et les calculs associés aux dimensionnements. Il permet de guider et d’orienter l’ingénieur pour la réalisation d’un design optimal de l’appareil d’échange le plus convenable à son application. Les exemples industriels présentés dans ce livre permettent à l’ingénieur une mise en situation réaliste faisant intervenir les différents prérequis en la matière. L’amélioration de l’efficacité énergétique des industries des procédés suscite une attention particulière surtout dans le cas des réseaux d’échangeurs. Dans ce cadre, la méthode PINCH s’avère un outil efficace pour rationaliser la consommation énergétique de ces réseaux. Cet ouvrage aborde cette question à travers un apprentissage pédagogique, simplifié, suivi d’une illustration industrielle. Table des matières : Introduction. Rappels. Echangeurs de chaleur. Coefficient d’échange convectif sans changement de phases dans les échangeurs de chaleur. Coefficient d’échange convectif en transfert avec changement de phase. Technologie des échangeurs de chaleur. Performances et calcul des échangeurs de chaleur. Exemples de design. Optimisation et intégration énergétique des flux de chaleur dans les réseaux d’échangeurs.

The first guide to compile current research and frontline developments in the science of process intensification (PI), Re-Engineering the Chemical Processing Plant illustrates the design, integration, and application of PI principles and structures for the development and optimization of chemical and industrial plants. This volume updates professionals on emerging PI equipment and methodologies to promote technological advances and operational efficacy in chemical, biochemical, and engineering environments and presents clear examples illustrating the implementation and application of specific process-intensifying equipment and methods in various commercial arenas.

Indeed, today "second generation" enhancement concepts are routing in the automotive and refrigeration industries to obtain lower cost, smaller heat exchanger size, and higher energy efficiency in system operation. And the aerospace, process, and power generation industries are not far behind.

HEAT TRANSFER Provides authoritative coverage of the fundamentals of heat transfer, written by one of the most cited authors in all of Engineering Heat Transfer presents the fundamentals of the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of heat between physical systems. A pioneer in establishing heat transfer as a pillar of the modern thermal sciences, Professor Adrian Bejan presents the fundamental concepts and problem-solving methods of the discipline, predicts the evolution of heat transfer configurations, the principles of thermodynamics, and more. Building upon his classic 1993 book Heat Transfer, the author maintains his straightforward scientific approach to teaching essential developments such as Fourier conduction, fins, boundary layer theory, duct flow, scale analysis, and the structure of turbulence. In this new volume, Bejan explores topics and research developments that have emerged during the past decade, including the designing of convective flow and heat and mass transfer, the crucial relationship between configuration and performance, and new populations of configurations such as tapered ducts, plates with multi-scale features, and dendritic fins. Heat Transfer: Evolution, Design and Performance: Covers thermodynamics principles and establishes performance and evolution as fundamental concepts in thermal sciences Demonstrates how principles of physics predict a future with economies of scale, multi-scale design, vascularization, and hierarchical distribution of many small features Explores new work on conduction architecture, convection with nanofluids, boiling and condensation on designed surfaces, and resonance of natural circulation in enclosures Includes numerous examples, problems with solutions, and access to a companion website Heat Transfer: Evolution, Design and Performance is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and chemical engineering, and for all engineers, physicists, biologists, and earth scientists.

Presents the newer field of chaos in nonlinear dynamics as a natural extension of classical mechanics as treated by differential equations. Employs Hamiltonian systems as the link between classical and nonlinear dynamics, emphasizing the concept of integrability. Also discusses nonintegrable dynamics, the fundamental KAM theorem, integrable partial differential equations, and soliton dynamics.
