Compact Heat Exchangers is a compilation of experimental data on the basic heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of "compact" heat exchanger surfaces, i.e., surfaces with the characteristic of large area per unit of volume, used primarily in gas-flow applications where large surface area is a necessity. The data have a wide application, including space heating, spacecraft heat exchangers, aircraft heat exchangers, and cooling systems of all kinds. Besides the basic experimental heat transfer and flow friction data, Compact Heat Exchangers contains chapters on heat exchanger analysis and design and auxiliary topics.
