techniques” would no longer receive wide acceptance (if it ever did! ) The remaining three chapters of the book deal with the umficatlon of experunental design and optlmlsatlon techniques to solve mdustrlal optlmlsatlon Froblems Several combmatlons of expenmental designs and optlmlsatlon methods are proposed and Illustrated using theoretical and also fairly realistic practical examples These examples will be particularly useful to anyone considering the apphcatlon of the techniques In summary, the book gives a reasonable treatment of techruques of experlmentatlon deslgned to optunlse complex processes I myself wonder how useful such techniques are m practice J D PERKINS

This 1s an mterestmg book for those concerned with the many facets of the design of heat exchangers
The mam emphasis of the book 1s concerned with two aspects of heat exchanger technology a) shell and tube heat exchanger usage and b) the apphcatlon of enhanced heat transfer m heat exchanger technology Chapter 1 gwes a general overview of heat exchanger technology mcludmg reference to economics of their use. Chapters 2, 3 & 4 give detailed quantltatlve analysis of the design of shell & tube heat exchangers for smgle phase, reboller and condenser apphcatlons. These chapters I consider to be very good m their quality of content and presentation. Chapters 5,6 & 7 are concerned, quahtatlvely, with the use of enhanced heat transfer m compact heat exchangers, an coolers and special surface geometries Chapters 8 & 9 are concerned with heat pumps and with waste heat recovery Overall I feel there 1s an unbalance between the excellent quantltatlve approach of chapters 2, 3 & 4 and the quahtatlve approach of the remaining chapters although there IS a wealth of information m these chapters. It 1s a book I can well recommend as supplementary material to courses on heat transfer P
