K. Rajashekhara. Book Description: 'Heat Exchangers Classification Selection and Thermal Design' by R. K. Rajashekhar is a comprehensive guide to understanding heat exchangers, their classification, selection, and thermal design. The book covers various types of heat exchangers, including shell and tube, plate, and spiral heat exchangers, and provides a detailed analysis of their advantages and limitations. It also discusses the factors that affect the performance of heat exchangers and provides guidelines for selecting the appropriate type of heat exchanger for specific applications. Additionally, the book covers thermal design aspects of heat exchangers, including the effects of temperature and pressure on the design. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of heat exchangers, such as the types of heat exchangers, their design and operation, and the importance of heat transfer in industrial processes. The author uses simple language and numerous examples to explain complex concepts, making it accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise. The book begins by introducing the concept of heat exchangers and their importance in modern technology. The author emphasizes the need to understand the process of technology evolution and its impact on human society. He argues that developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge is essential for survival in a warring state. This paradigm involves recognizing the interconnectedness of technology and society and understanding how technology can be used to improve the human condition.
