Heat Transfer Enhancement in Chemical Processes combines process technologies with heat exchange equipment to study heat transfer enhancement. The book provides guidance for the progress of process technologies and the application of enhanced heat transfer equipment. It analyzes the basic principles of heat transfer and summarizes the theories and methods of heat transfer enhancement, while also focusing on three representative processes in petrochemical industry, including oil refining, aromatics, and ethylene production. The book summarizes in a systematical way the practical application of heat transfer enhancement in the petrochemical industry, from the equipment components, the processes, and the whole plant.
