Aimed at helping engineers, researchers, professors, and students learn the basic principles of industrial heat transfer enhancement, this book introduces enhancement techniques and explains how they work in industry. Through a comprehensive approach, the chapters serve as a reference guide for future research and are written by world-renowned and recognized experts in their fields. The text presents a combined heat transfer analysis, progressing from basic concepts to enhancement possibilities. The topics covered in the book are divided into two major themes: industrial heat transfer modeling and principles, and techniques for industrial heat transfer enhancement.
