As motive force of processes, heat must be transferred from one fluid to other, task that is performed by means of heat exchangers. From this point of view, heat exchangers represent an important element of thermal facilities that has substantially contributed to technical development of the society. Today it is impossible to imagine any branch of process engineering and energy technology without involvement of heat exchangers. Advanced models of these apparatus were proposed in the middle of the 18th century, while theoretical backgrounds have been completed a century later.

Corresponding to practical importance of heat exchangers, innumerable studies and treatises are devoted to processes taking place in these devices and their constructive shaping. The actual development trend in this field is guided by the ideas of reduction of thermal transport resistances and the raise of energy conversion efficiency. These ideas have also guided the conception of the present book. It is a collection of contributions prepared by the specialists. It consists of 21 Chapter that are arranged in 6 Sections:

This part comprises 7 Chapters dealing mainly with the questions of fluid flow and heat transfer in heat exchangers. Chapter 1 by Awad and Muzychka addresses the entropy generation arising from heat transfer and fluid flow and provides a basis for thermodynamic optimisation of heat exchangers. Gvozdenac gives in Chapter 2 a detailed analysis of convective heat transfer in heat exchangers at different flow arrangements under transient conditions. Kansha et al. present in Chapter 3 a self-heat recuperation technology for transport of latent and sensible heat of the process streams without heat addition and introduce a theoretical analysis of this technology. Carvajal-Mariscal et al. recommend in Chapter 4 combinations of process parameters that give high efficiency of two-phase thermosyphons. These devices are used for transport of high heat flow rates from heat source to heat sink by connecting the evaporator and
