Inhaltsangabe

Master the science and design of heat transfer in power plants The book provides practical, formula‑based insight into surface condensers and various condensation methods used in steam systems and refrigeration.

This edition compiles detailed explanations of condenser operation, heat transmission, and the physics behind jet, ejector, and barometric condensers. It blends theory with hands‑on guidance, helping readers analyze performance, select configurations, and interpret key diagrams and equations.


  • Clear derivations and real‑world examples of heat transfer in condensers

  • Comparisons of different condenser types and when to use them

  • Step‑by‑step discussion of maintaining vacuum, surface fouling, and water flow

  • Practical formulas and diagrams that support design and troubleshooting



Ideal for engineers, students, and professionals working with steam power, refrigeration machinery, and related equipment who want a solid, shelf‑ready reference grounded in fundamental thermodynamics.
