PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

Heat Exchangers are devices that facilitate the exchange of heat between two fluids which are at different temperatures while keeping them from mixing with each other. In this latter way they differ from mixing chambers. In the industrial engineering sector an understanding of the subject of heat exchangers is assuming greater importance, since the subject plays a crucially important role in the design, operation and maintenance in areas such as heating and air-conditioning systems, vehicle engineering, power plants, refrigeration and chemical and industrial process engineering. The program covers all aspects of the subject of heat exchangers from a mechanical viewpoint using lots of examples from current industrial practice with their associated problems whilst minimizing the use of mathematics.

Extensive discussions are included on the numerous types of heat exchangers encountered in industrial plants and the subject is developed through the basic engineering approach by using a wide range of examples of real problems which are typical of those encountered in various industries. The delegates should have no difficulty in understanding this program, since the principles of heat transfer which are applied to this topic are seen to be based very much on our everyday experiences and observations. The absence of mathematically intimidating material will help too.
